Rev Moon's Breakaway Catholic Church Launched in Zambia
Milingo himself has been associated with Moon since 2001, when he surprised the world by marrying a Korean Unificationist named Maria Sung. However, he split from his wife shortly afterwards, and told journalists that
...the Moonies had plans: to found a well-financed parallel Catholic Church in Africa, autonomous from Rome, with its own hierarchy headed by Milingo. Milingo also claimed that a document proving this had been stolen from his suitcase in Italy.
In 2006 Moon was back with his wife, and back with the Unification Church. He told a Married Priests Now conference that in Korea he had met "many Catholics and Catholic married priests who are in the Unification movement", and in April of this year he expressed publicly his belief that Moon is the Messiah. However, despite all this obvious evidence that Milingo is now Moon's creature, he continues to make statements denying he is a Unificationist. He has also more than once publicly insisted that he has no interest in forming a rival church for disaffected Catholics in Africa, and in July 2006 he told the National Catholic Reporter that "We have no ambition at all, in any way, to do anything of that kind." Surely that must now be judged to be a bald-faced lie?
