Is Father Thomas Law correct?

Everyone knows the housing market needs to change. The land is controlled by a small majority and that needs to change. People have been suffering too long under housing which is either too small or too expensive. I am grateful to be living in a two bedroom flat with my wife. Don't let the two bedroom confuse you because one bedroom is only big enough for the width of the bed and book case. We use the second bedroom for my desk, another book case and a wardrobe.

Father Law was able to reason the criticism of the  majority of land holders in Hong Kong.  "Call it the fire of love, rather than hatred," he said. "Hatred burns and consumes, while the love of God purifies the heart and sets the people free." Who is going to blame him? The minority, those being poor, are quick to side with his view.

Personally, I think he is right that its time we stood up for the poor and needy. Though, did he do it the right way? Its easy to react with strong emotions that reflect more on the hurt that people are feelings than on love.
