....... I was thinking of what the pope's visit means to korea which is the onlydivided nation and undergoing unfinished Sewol ship disaster. He was invited from korean president so his visit was for the first time in 25years. He is the symbol of the Roman chtholic church and also the symbol of peace and reconciliation. A lof of koreans expected that he gives the message to us even though the purpose was religious visit he said. First, The pope Francis offfered ifs condolences to a bereaved family of Sewol ship disaster and consoled people. In addition, one of them was even baptized by the Pope Francis with that name. But on the other side hand, ironically, the truth committee of Sewol ship held a rally in the square of Seoul Cityhall to demand an indictment power and an investigation power of special law on August 15th. However, the scheduling conflict each other,so Pope's visit attracted public attention more than the rally. Also mnay TV station were broadcasting Pope Francis in stead of that. Therefore they might feel alienated from public attention. It seens like hes visit was used politically even though his intention wasn't meant like that.
