Korea's New Cardinal


South Korea to Have Another Cardinal


Congratulations to Archbishop Nicholas Cheong Jin-Suk, Archbishop of Seoul and Apostolic Administrator of P'yong-yang, and now Nicholas Cardinal Cheong Jin-Suk, on being elevated to the purple: S. Korea's new cardinal supporter of humanitarian aid, bioethics.

His Eminence becomes the country's second cardinal, after Stephen Cardinal Kim Sou-hwan.

Archbishop of Seoul and Bioethical Debate is a report on the meeting between the subject of this post and the now-disgraced Korean cloner Hwang Woo-suk, a meeting that left at least one member of the Catholic blogosphere feeling uneasy: Shaking hands with a murderer.
