Seoul, South Korea, Sep 14, 2007 / 09:09 am
The Archdiocese of Seoul has cautioned Catholics against meeting or consulting with the excommunicated Archbishop Emmanuel Milingo, who is currently residing in South Korea with his wife.
Archbishop Milingo is the former archbishop of Lusaka, Zambia. In a diocesan bulletin, dated Sept. 9, the archdiocese said lay Catholics must consult with their parish priests if they are invited to any meetings with the excommunicated prelate.
Milingo is promoting his U.S.-based Married Priests Now movement in South Korea. The 77-year-old is married to South Korean Maria Sung, who is a member of the Unification Church, founded by Reverend Moon Sun-myung.
Milingo incurred automatic excommunication in 2006 when he ordained four bishops without papal approval.
