The Rev. Moon Honored at Hill Reception
Lawmakers Say They Were Misled

More than a dozen lawmakers attended a congressional reception this year honoring the Rev. Sun Myung Moon in which Moon declared himself the Messiah and said his teachings have helped Hitler and Stalin be "reborn as new persons."

At the March 23 ceremony in the Dirksen Senate Office Building, Rep. Danny K. Davis (D-Ill.) wore white gloves and carried a pillow holding an ornate crown that was placed on Moon's head. The Korean-born businessman and religious leader then delivered a long speech saying he was "sent to Earth . . . to save the world's six billion people. . . . Emperors, kings and presidents . . . have declared to all Heaven and Earth that Reverend Sun Myung Moon is none other than humanity's Savior, Messiah, Returning Lord and True Parent."

Details of the ceremony -- first reported by Salon.com writer John Gorenfeld -- have prompted several lawmakers to say they were misled or duped by organizers. Their complaints prompted a Moon-affiliated Web site to remove a video of the "Crown of Peace" ceremony two days ago, but other Web sites have preserved details and photos.

Haha remember when the Moonies converted that Catholic Archbishop?

The best part was after he sorta just disappeared and his wife thought the pope kidnapped him. He did leave some sort of strange letter regretting it all.

Loved this part:

Archbishop Emmanuel Milingo, the former head of the Roman Catholic Church in Zambia, married 43-year-old doctor, Maria Sung - whom he had never met before - during a collective wedding ceremony organised by the Moonies in New York.

But this part takes the cake:

The Reverend Moon sees his mission as continuing the work of Jesus Christ in creating a new "family of man" and in 1992 he declared that he and his wife were the true parents of all humanity.

You really hadn't heard about this?

Seriously here is his going away letter. (http://www.archbishopmilingo.org/statement_milingo_response.htm)

This is where he is now http://www.cnn.com/2004/WORLD/europe/02/18/vatican.milingo.reut/ but the best articles are the ones where his wife says he was kidnapped.

--I think the Moonies own several hotels in NYC or something to that extent where they all live too.

I've herd about an archbishop loosing his job. Didn't realized that he lost it because of the Moonies.

I'll bet that 100 years from now, Moon will be viewed by many with the same fervor as John Smith.
