Rev. Sun Myung Moon In Intensive Care: Unification Church Asks Followers To Pray, Fast

SEOUL, South Korea -- The Unification Church asked followers around the world to pray and fast for its founder, the Rev. Sun Myung Moon, who was unconscious in a Seoul hospital's intensive-care unit Thursday.

Chances of Moon surviving the pneumonia for which he is being treated in the next couple of days are "50-50," the church said on its website, citing an unnamed doctor caring for the 92-year-old.

Moon's church has gained fame around the world since he founded it in Seoul in 1954, notably for its mass weddings. Moon is a self-proclaimed messiah who said that he was 15 when Jesus Christ personally called on him to complete his unfinished work.

The church also runs a multibillion-dollar religious and business empire that includes The Washington Times newspaper and the New Yorker Hotel in Manhattan. Church officials say there are millions of members worldwide, but defectors and critics say the figure is no more than 100,000.

when the world is rid of this fascist, lying cockroach. His sick cult took my best friend from high school. They almost got me when I tried to visit him, but I escaped. That was almost 40 years ago, and he is still in their clutches as far as I know.
