BREAKING NEWS: New Korean Cardinal to be Named
From Korea to Have Two Cardinals:
    The Vatican plans to appoint a second cardinal to South Korea around February, a local broadcaster indirectly quoted a cardinal at the Holy See as saying.

    Within the Korean Catholic community, there are several names being discussed as candidates for the nation’s new cardinal. They include the Rev. Nicholas Cheong Jin-suk, archbishop of Seoul; the Rev. Andreas Choi Chang-mou, archbishop of Kwangju; the Rev. Paul Ri, Moun-hi, archbishop of Taegu; and the Rev. John Chang Yik, bishop of Chunchon.
This is great news! I would of course like to see my bishop, Archbishop Paul Ri Moun-hi of Archdiocese of Taegu elevated to the purple.
