Seventy years since the Korean peninsula was split in half, a sizeable and authoritative delegation representing the South Korean Catholic Church has, for the first time, crossed the border and the demilitarised zone via China and is currently touring Pyongyang and other North Korean territories, as part of an official visit that is laden with implications, not just ecclesiastical ones.

The article continues at the link.
 
Interesting. I followed with alacrity the story of Francis Hong Yong-Ho, who was listed in the Annuario Pontificio for decades until 2013 when the Holy See finally conceded he is dead.
 
It is a time for HOPE borne out of desperate times
in a divided Korea, but w/ God ALL things are possible!!
See Matt. 19:26

Thank you for that link; I wasn’t familiar with him. I think of those news stories about Christian families being mudered in gas chambers in Korean death camps, and I just wish there were more information available. Those bishops were brave to go there.
