總會長來訪
五月中，台港方濟會裴高樂省會長帶同秘書伍偉烈修士，一起到羅馬參加方濟會總會長選舉，在臉書中也看到總會長晉見教宗方濟，也看到教宗給方濟會士的勸勉：當你們的修會「更加走出去」，你們才能實踐聖召和使命，結出豐碩的果實。教宗的這番話，為自以為當個宅會士就能修德成聖的弟兄們，真希望有醍醐灌頂之效。
裴會長在選舉後順便到家鄉休假，7月中回台後，即刻給會士們一封好消息的郵件，他說總會長會來台灣，希望大家到泰山會院會見總會長；我認為大老遠跑到北部，又不可能有所建言，因此詢問趙必成神父認識總會長嗎？他回簡訊說：沒見過！但聽一位他的學生修士說：曾在泰澤碰到過，修士向總會長說明：趙神父是他見過的最有方濟精神的會士，怎麼台港方濟會士有人說他是法利賽人呢？總會長很簡短的回答：I pray for him. 這位修士就感覺怎麼這麼冷啊！
一週後，裴會長又在電郵中告知總會長的行程，其中會到新營會院及鹽水嘉蘭隱修院，這樣我就覺得不去見總會長就沒有禮貌了，因此我又詢問趙神父有甚麼需要我轉達的嗎？趙神父竟然回答道：總會長經過省會長及秘書的傳達都批准她離會了，還有甚麼可說的呢？哎呀！這如何是好呢？怎麼會是這樣呢？無論如何都要表達一下吧！
預計7月21日下午五時到，我提早一個小時到新營會院，大約5時半全員到齊，在餐廳一面交談一面享用水果，不多時，廚師阿娥進來準備擺碗筷，她擺盤子在桌上的動作跟用摔的很接近，大家看在眼裡，巫神父很有默契的說：我們到隔壁會客室罷！這是乞丐趕廟公的實例。當我被問到有何問題時，我就將準備好的意見交給每人一份。
About six months ago, we had a community meeting that was held by the provincial at our friary. We all came to the conclusion that guardian and procurator must not be the same friar. In addition, Fr. Bonaventure Tung cannot stay at Xinying Friary for good. However, the provincial informed us within one month that the guardian and procurator were still the same person - J.B. Huang. Moreover, Fr. Tung was arranged to live in Xinying Friary for good. What is the value of community meeting? All are decided by the provincial and the guardian!
Would you, dear Fr. Minister General, reply me by written document? Indeed, these small problems are not worthy to intervene the busy schedule of Fr. Minister General. What a pity of this province! Would you please give me answers to these problems as a Minister General? Otherwise, only shop talk is not the purpose of fraternal visit. Certainly, it is neither Franciscan spirit nor gospel life.
我們半年多前！由省會長召開的院務會議！一致決定院長與總務人選分開！同神父不要留在新營會院！不到一個月後！省會長通知我們！院長總務還是黃敏正一人擔任！同神父還是留在新營會院！這樣我們開院務會議有甚麼用！會長與院長決定就好了！
請總會長書面給我答覆！我們連這麼小的問題都要總會長煩勞！這會省真的可憐！如果總會長連這麼小的問題都不能給我回復！請問你到我們會院做甚麼？僅接受我們的祝賀嗎？當然不是方濟精神！更不是福音生活！
總會長看完之後對我點點頭，不過就如我所料，這種小事還是該由會省決定，所以我就說下一個案件是總會長可以決定的，因此我又遞給每人一份。
The permission of leaving the Order from Fr.Minister General to Fr. Chiu,Bit-shing Abraham
Our brother Fr Abraham earned two doctoral degrees from the USA and his STL from Louvain Catholic University. After he had returned to our province last July, he was disregarded by some friars though they promised to talk with him fraternally about his future in accordance with his competitiveness.
During the sixteen years while he stayed in the USA, he sometimes taught in various seminaries and also conducted retreats to diocesan bishops, priests, and nuns in China. He is greatly welcomed there as I was told.
We the Franciscans should follow the church teaching as to bridge up the Chinese Church and the universal Church. Fr. Abraham applied for teaching in mainland China, however, he is mistreated by some friars as rubbish but ironically, he is treated as the cornerstone of the seminary formation in the Chinese Catholic Church. One reason that I can find from our brothers is jealousy. He was forbidden to work not even out of Xinying area according to the decision of the definitorium on Oct 9, 2015 though he is warmly welcomed from south to north in Taiwan.
Fr Abraham is not a person who isolates himself from other "brothers" but to the contrast, they isolate him by betraying the promise that some friars had made. For instance, he was allowed to teach in mainland China by the provincial but someone said that he never received any applications from Fr Abraham. That humiliates him openly in our province and simultaneously, mistreats him as a great sinner who lost the spirit of St Francis.
That is the true side of the story why Fr Abraham applied for leaving the Order.
Fraternally,
Huang Chun-tian, Antony

總會長批准趙必成神父出會
愛護及照顧聖召是教會當務之急，我們的趙必成神父在美國進修，獲得兩博士一碩士學位，回到台港方濟會完全沒有受到善用!他在美國就學期間!常到大陸多處修院教區講學!受到極大歡迎!如今響應教宗的勸諭!台灣教會應該擔任橋梁教會的角色!趙神父申請到大陸修院教書!被台港方濟會視為糞土卻在大陸教會視為修院培育的基石!我們理所當然全力支持!然而在絕大多數妒嫉的心態下!選擇前往吉林修院教書!
總會長不明事由!輕易聽信這些讒言!要求趙神父出會!竟然沒聽過趙神父的聲音!這是多麼愚蠢多麼不明智多麼缺乏智慧!因此!我懇請總會長收回成命!傾聽本會弟兄的心聲!再做決定!免得修會的名譽受損!福音的精神喪失!
我特別提到趙神父在新營會院，黃敏正院長不但沒有公開介紹給教友們，也沒有一分錢給趙神父零用，黃敏正一再辯解，他有給錢，原來他是將趙神父離開時，將所有物郵寄到吉林所需的費用，視作他給趙神父的零用，我們的長上公開說慌又是一例；這時總會長問道：趙神父有沒有到鳳翔會院度修會生活，我們心中竊笑，你都不知陝西鳳翔到吉林有多遠？這時巫神父很有正氣的表示：是香港會士們不給趙神父到鳳翔的！總會長大為驚訝道：這怎麼可能？我即刻回應說：這不應該可能，但這卻是事實。巫神父很客觀的向總會長建議：請總會長到香港會士們交流後，再想辦法請趙神父出來說明就可以囉！
最後巫神父輕聲的問：聽說總會那裏有洗錢的嫌疑，總會長你知道嗎？總會長當然說不知道囉！只是欲蓋彌彰，裴會長去年底就告知我們，總會那裏有財務問題，但是不要告訴別人。沒想到我到菲律賓參加白修女發願金慶，吃飯時許多神父問我有關方濟會財務問題，結果是我們小會士們不知道的，連外國其他神父弟兄都知道了，這就應驗了：若要人不知，除非己莫為。
總會長還帶來了紐約方濟會省的財務長，用意就是我們有何需要可以向他申請，現在下營堂為維修聖堂遭遇到一些財務困擾，黃敏正院長不願幫忙，以他的氣度做此決定不足為奇；教區經建委員陳世賢表示要負責這工程，只補助1/4款項卻要拿取當地的工作機會，天下哪有這種好事？因此請裴會長向這位財務長請求補助，希望能成就，這也算這次會面的收穫了，願主旨承行罷！
