Stay out of Politics!

From today's UCA News Online comes a story from Korea with this headline: "Buddhist, Catholic, Protestant Clergy Decry Impeachment As 'Invalid.'" The impeachent of President Roh followed due process as laid out in the Constitution of the Republic of Korea. Thus, it is "valid," whether it is right or wrong, a good or bad thing for tha country. One should, in good conscience, be able to agree or diagree with it. The Korean priests mentioned in the article should stay out of politics and focus on moral issues, like abortion, euthanasia, and human cloning, all prevelent in South Korea.

Although abortion in Korea is technically illegal, there are five times the number of unborn murdered here than in the U.S., where abortion is legal and easy! More Koreans are aborted each year than are born! And this is a country, with a birth rate of 1.17 babies per woman, whose popluation will be reduced by two-thirds in a century!
