Catholic Priests Association for Justice

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Catholic Priests' Association for Justice (CPAJ; Korean: 천주교정의구현전국사제단) is an S. Korean association of Catholic priests, whose aim is to establish justice in Korea. It was established on September 26, 1974 as an attempt to resist against military regime of Park Chung-hee.[1] After the military regime ended, CPAJ currently focuses on reunifying Korea, safeguarding the environment, abolishing National Security Law, and promoting anti-war movements.[2]

In October 2007, CPAJ revealed a corruption scandal of Samsung Group.[3]
