Quotations and simultaneous interpretation

I've moved this quotation to the talk page until the correct translation and Wilson's commentary is added, perhaps a small section talking about mistranslations:

"But when it comes to our age, we must have an automatic theocracy to rule the world. So, we cannot separate the political field from the religious. Democracy was born because people ruled the world, like the Pope does. Then, we come to the conclusion that God has to rule the world, and God loving people have to rule the world -- and that is logical. We have to purge the corrupted politicians, and the sons of God must rule the world. The separation between religion and politics is what Satan likes most."
- Rev. Sun Myung Moon, Third Directors' Conference, Master Speaks, May 17, 1973

This article needs a section like this

Criticism section

This section needs to go. Take the content and work it throughout the article and/or reword sections so they are "beliefs," "statements," etc. WhisperToMe (talk) 15:02, 16 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Can the section just be renamed Controversies? If you look at the article on Louis Farrakhan it has such a section. Marknw (talk) 18:21, 21 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I think the point WhisperToMe would like to make is that criticism sections have been deprecated. (I think I saw an assertion to that effect somewhere.) It would be good to cite this. The article would need substantial work to rearrange everything. -Exucmember (talk) 06:30, 28 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Second Marriage

I checked out the source cited for the statement that Moon's second marriage is not considered infidelity on the grounds that it was 'providential'. The source actually cites the long drawn out divorce laws of Korea at the time. I changed the text to more accurately reflect the cited source. I hope there are no objections...
