He became Park Jeong-ui’s nephew. – (263)

“We were like cats in the cathedral at that time. We had no choice but to obey whatever they said.”

“So, you knew that the nun was murdered but you pretended not to know?”

“Yes… I will reflect on it.”

This is Baltimore, USA,

Those who appeared in court continued to make confessions in front of the judge.

The incident dates back to 1969, when a 25-year-old nun went missing.

The police searched the area thoroughly, but her whereabouts were unknown, and two months after the case was reported, the nun was found dead.

So who is the culprit in this case?

The body was discovered too late and with few clues, police continued to investigate for several years, but the case was eventually closed due to lack of evidence.

Now, 18 years later, the case takes a new turn when witnesses come forward, and the witnesses are children who were in the nuns’ care.

These children are either orphaned or suffering from domestic abuse.

The Catholic Church was the only refuge these poor souls could rely on, and they had no choice but to follow its laws.

Taking advantage of this weakness, he turned the priests and children here into dogs who completely obey his will.

This alone is an unforgivable sin before God, but the priests became even more daring and even committed sexual assault.

Eventually, some victims could no longer bear it any longer and went looking for someone to ask for help.

That’s the nun who was murdered. The nun promised to help the children and it is believed she was silenced because of this.

But in a situation where there is no direct evidence,

The prosecution arranged this event to accept witness statements as evidence.

“So, is there any evidence that the priests murdered the nuns?”

“Yes, one day the priests took us to the woods near the cathedral. There was a dead nun there. And the priests said, ‘This is the price you pay for speaking carelessly.’ We were so scared that we couldn’t do anything.”

The people in the gallery were astonished.

How could something like that happen in a cathedral? No, why did the children keep the death of the nun who tried to help them in their hearts for 18 years?

Even if you are accustomed to the church, how can you ignore such a terrible incident?

The bride’s lawyer also pointed that out.

“Your Honor, the witnesses have suffered from parental neglect and abuse since childhood, and have had very unstable childhoods mentally. I think it is unfair to accept as evidence the past memories of such witnesses.”

The court accepted the defendant’s attorney’s argument.

There is no direct evidence that the priests murdered the nuns, and above all, there is no evidence that the children’s memories are accurate.

The resentment of the nun who died under suspicious circumstances was not resolved.

The prosecution stated that they will never give up and will reinvestigate the case, saying that it is certain that the victim died from being hit with a blunt object, but there is no culprit.

And in this process, new facts emerge,

That means the police and the church may be in cahoots.

Can the police, who are always dispatched to every big and small incident, engage in religious activities?

For this reason, American police departments set aside separate spaces for religious activities, and the priest who attends these spaces is the one that witnesses have been talking about.

Even the police chief confirmed that the priest in question was his brother, so something smells fishy.

In fact, the body of the murdered nun was never found by the police.

Discovered by fishermen, what were the police doing during the two months the victim was missing?

In addition, with testimony already coming out that the priest had emotionally abused the children, public opinion in the United States was gnashing its teeth, saying that those guys were definitely the culprits.

If you look at each piece, doesn’t every puzzle fit together perfectly?

However, the court ruled that there was insufficient evidence, and the priest in question was released as innocent and is still practicing his faith.

You shouldn’t suspect someone without any evidence, but in this case, all the circumstances point to the church and the priest.

What is clear is that this incident taught American society something.

That is the fear of isolation. In a closed society, a minority can exert absolute influence over the majority.

This is especially problematic if it is within their own confines, such as a cathedral or a church. Can we laugh off this incident as something that could happen in a specific space?

In fact, the United States is also a very closed society.

There are more people living on the outskirts of cities than in the city, and they live within their own rules.

Anyone who breaks it is just a troublemaker who disrupts the order of the town.

And in the United States, where Catholicism is strong, there are many towns that form communities centered around churches. Are such societies democratic and open?

Even the United States, which pursues liberal democracy and an open culture, is in reality like this.

So, should we open everything up and create a society without fences? That doesn’t make sense either.

Respecting each other’s boundaries is another aspect of democracy; after all, even within liberal democracy, closed societies can exist.

“This is our town’s business!!”

“Outsiders get out!!”

I’m an outsider, so what would the locals say if they came out like this?

I’m not from that area so how can I comment on that town? But AOPR is trying to break down that fence.

What does it matter to me whether Islamic fundamentalists commit honor killings against their daughters and families?

However, world opinion was outraged by the behavior of Islamic fundamentalists, and the AOPR cooperated with the Iranian government to eliminate Islamic fundamentalists.

That’s not all.

We raided Colombia, which supplies drugs to the United States, and rooted out the leftist forces and corrupt government that were paralyzing law and order.

So is this an invasion by a great power?

It’s none of the United States’ business whether Colombia sustains its economy with drugs or not, but the problem is that those drugs have made their way to the United States and paralyzed society.

In addition, the crime rate among illegal immigrants is rapidly increasing, so it makes no sense to ask the United States to just sit back and do nothing about this.

We’ll have to tear down that damn fence to get the rotten water out.

So AOPR uses the military to break down fences all over the world.

If something is stagnant, it will rot. Isn’t an open society much more fluid than a closed society? And that is the way to realize true democracy. When society opens up, all the rotten water that has accumulated over time is pulled out all at once.

Colombia is the same,

If AOPR had not broken this damn fence, the Colombian people would still be suffering in a civil war between the government and the far left.

But now that’s all in the past, the corrupt police and government officials are gone, and the far left that used to produce drugs to fund the military is gone.

AOPR is not an invader, but a liberation army,

Naturally, groups following them also began to form groups.

“Everyone, let us all pray for the health of our head of state and for Korea’s endless development.”

“May Korea’s future be filled with glory and blessings….”

This is America, and the Korean people gathered at the church listened to the pastor’s words.

This is another Korea in America,

Although they are officially Americans, they are more interested in Korean society than anyone else.

We spend our time laughing and crying over Korean political and economic news, and discussing who we should elect as the next president.

In fact, the position of Koreans in the United States is somewhat special.

Many immigrants have been discriminated against because of their nationality or skin color, and Koreans here were once treated that way too.

However, when Korea’s national prestige grew to the point where it stood shoulder to shoulder with the United States and the head of state ascended to the position of Commander-in-Chief of the AOPR, Koreans were so happy that they shed tears of joy.

As Korea’s national prestige has risen, the treatment it receives here has also changed, and recently, it even produced a Korean-American senator.

If this momentum continues, wouldn’t it be possible for Koreans to become a part of American society like Jews?

This is actually happening, but there are many Koreans who are unhappy about it.

“We are not Koreans, we are Americans. Shouldn’t we also open the way for us to become part of the United States? We should also try to speak English better.”

“I don’t really like making kimchi every year. Please skip it from now on.”

Why do Koreans gather together to make kimchi when the time comes?

Plus, if you miss out on these group events, you’re labeled a selfish person.

Adults may be familiar with this culture, but for second- and third-generation Koreans, it is just an annoying event.

We speak English and live as Americans, but adults don’t understand it, so we often clash with the younger generation.

“You idiot!! It’s because Korea is doing so well that we can live here and shout loudly!!”

“What does that have to do with me? Thanks to Korea, I became a lawyer?”

“Tsk tsk~ Anyway, young people don’t know anything. You guys are benefiting from it too!! Why don’t you know that?!! This is why the Korean community isn’t united!!”

What the adults said was somewhat based on fact.

It is a well-known fact that the Korean leader sends New Year’s greetings to overseas Koreans every year. Can the Korean government pretend not to know this because Koreans are Americans?

If you do that, people will say, ‘Aren’t you indifferent to your fellow countrymen?’

Koreans living abroad are also grateful that the Korean leader is showing interest in the Korean community.

Thanks to the large investments made by Koreans in the United States, Americans also view Koreans as contributors to the United States, not as illegal immigrants.

But you say that Korea and the Korean community have no relationship? Because of that mindset, Koreans cannot stick together like Jews and assert their rights.

Why would the Jews unite among themselves?

Because no matter how hard they struggle in America, they know that they are a minority and are discriminated against, and because adults have experienced that, they try to stick together.

But young people are denying it,

We believe that we must break the mold and go out into American society to be treated as Americans. It’s frustrating for adults.

He criticized them, saying that the Korean community is unable to unite because of them.

The conflict between generations continued like this, and then an incident occurred.

A Korean student opened fire at school after being subjected to violence from fellow white students, killing about 10 white students.

So, did American society focus on the violence committed by white people against Korean students?

Quite the opposite, they focused on the horrific crimes committed by Koreans, leaving out information that was detrimental to white people.

“Huh? This isn’t it?”

“Why is it like this?”

Young Koreans were embarrassed.

I believed that the United States, a more democratic and open society than any other country, would approach this incident from an objective perspective.

But expectations were dashed, and the Korean community took matters into its own hands to explain the situation.

“White students have been persistently harassing Korean students for the past eight months, and even cut their stomachs with a knife. Of course, this does not mean that the Korean student in question did anything wrong, but it is intolerable to exclude this fact and brand Korean students as demons.”

“Public opinion must look at this incident objectively. Who turned that student into a demon?”

American society is divided in half.

There was a sharp confrontation between those who argued that the perpetrator was acting as the victim and those who argued that the perpetrator was also responsible, but the opinion that mass shootings cannot be tolerated by any logic began to dominate.

The Korean community, with nowhere to turn, sent an SOS to the Korean government, and public opinion in Korea was also divided in half.

Should we see them as people on the same fence as us?

I hear that young Koreans these days think of themselves as Americans, so why should the Korean government get involved in things that happen among Americans?

Selfish people who only seek out the Korean government when it is disadvantageous.

There were also quite a few who said to just ignore it.
