Justice Implementation Priests' Group "Japan's Humiliating Diplomacy... Resign Yoon Seok-yeol Administration"

The Catholic Priests' Association for Justice (representative Father Kim Young-sik) will hold a Mass calling for the resignation of the Yoon Seok-yeol administration.

Although they have frequently voiced criticism against the Yoon Seok-yeol administration, this is the first time they are demanding the administration's resignation.

On the afternoon of December 25 last year, priests belonging to the Catholic Priests' Association for Justice conducted a Christmas Mass for the victims and bereaved families of the Itaewon disaster at the citizen memorial altar set up in the plaza of Noksapyeong Station, Yongsan-gu, Seoul.

According to the Priests' Association for Justice on the 17th, the Mass will be held at 7 p.m. on the 20th at Pungnammun Square in Jeonju, Jeonbuk.

In a press release, the Priests' Association for Justice stated, "We will offer the 'Mass to Overthrow Prosecutorial Dictatorship and Urge the Resignation of the Traitorous Dictatorial Regime,' and after the Mass, we will hold the 'Emergency National Meeting of the Catholic Priests' Association for Justice' to gather opinions on how to realize the spirit of the Priests' Association through gospel reflection on the current situation."

The Priests' Association for Justice emphasized, "Yoon Seok-yeol, who is he a president for? The time has come to demand the resignation of the Yoon Seok-yeol administration. It is now, the very moment when the stones will shout (Luke 19:40)."

In February last year, ahead of the presidential election, the Priests' Association for Justice held a prayer meeting for democracy and peace, criticizing strongly that citizens' rational judgment and fair deliberation were not functioning properly, and sharply criticizing the media, prosecution, and judiciary.

Although they did not directly mention candidate Yoon Seok-yeol at the time, they expressed critical voices regarding Yoon's shamanism-related controversies, saying, "It is difficult to understand why the presidential election became blatantly influenced by shamanism," and "This election has become a choice between entrusting the future to rational and peaceful forces or handing a knife to shamanistic power."
