south korea has one of the fastest growing roman catholic communities. why>? >> the reason, perhaps christianity has been making progress in korea for over a century now. in recent years, there have been more and more conversions to roman catholicism. the reason, perhaps, is that catholics and south korea have insisted much on social justice. it has been growing fast. people working a lot, it has been something of a rat race. it seems that the catholic church, in the sense of justice and a sense that perhaps people, everyone ought to be taken care of them look after. not just the people who are successful. >> has the church been involved in south korea? sending missionaries and all that to generate awareness? it would be a largely buddhist and atheist country and origin. >> christianity in korea is nearly two centuries old. it was imported by korean intellectuals who have heard about the jesuits who went to china in the 17th century. it was imported, there were very severe persecutions and executions, hence the number of people that the pope is going to canoniz
