Catholic priests take part in a mass during a protest demanding a full-scale renegotiation of the U.S. beef import deal and the resignation of South Korean President Lee Myung-bak in central Seoul June 30, 2008. South Korean police said on Monday they have detained more than 100 people for violence at weekend rallies, which was held by people fearing mad cow disease.
I could understand Catholic priests getting involved if it involved Mad Cowl Disease.

They weren’t so d****d picky about American food in the 1950s. Ingratitude, thy name is Korea.
It’s not really about American beef.
It’s about the perceived backroom politics and rolling over for America of their current administration. It’s about this beef deal being signed and put into practice without any input from the public.
At the same time, the Korean media has been hyping the possible dangers of American beef and being very misleading.
I think it’s an overreaction, but I think it’s important to know why they’re doing it.
And where is their Bishop at? What a sacrilege.
