| Summary: | Amidst preparations for Pope Francis's 2015 Synod on the Family, the Catholic bishop of Hong Kong at the time, John Cardinal Tong Hon, commented about divisions within the domestic spheres of the spheres of the faithful in his 2014 Christmas pastoral letter. Hon touched on a central nerve of contemporary Chinese societies, especially in the particular year of 2014. He noted that some members of families in Hong Kong have become hostile towards one another because of differences in opinions regarding public issues relating to the Umbrella Movement. The issue of ecumenical concerns about the family in Hong Kong will be one to watch. |
