Archbishop Chung Soon-taek said, "More confusion than ever...We need to work hard for the happiness of the people."

Archbishop Chung Soon-taek, the head of the Catholic Archdiocese of Seoul, mentioned social chaos after the martial law incident and emphasized that we should strive for the happiness and common good of the whole people in accordance with democratic and constitutional procedures.

Archbishop Chung Soon-taek said at the "Sungtan Great Festival Night Mass" held at dawn today (25th), "The news of anxiety and division amid sudden political instability saddens us and weighs heavy on our hearts."

He also appealed that our society should continue to strive to establish a just order on the basis of mutual respect and common good, even though our society is in fear and anxiety.

He added that in reality now, the church has a calling to speak out for justice and peace, not to promote division and confrontation, but to achieve reconciliation and unity.
