The Catholic Church in North Korea retains a community of several hundred adherents who practice under the supervision of the state-established Korean Catholic Association (KCA) rather than the Roman Catholic hierarchy. The dioceses of the Church have remained vacant since Christian persecutions in the late 1940s. The most prominent congregation is that of Pyongyang,which meets at Changchung Cathedral. According to a KCA official,two other congregations exist. The state ideology of Juche has largely displaced Catholic faith,and full services are provided only to people with a Catholic family background. Most,if not all,religious formation of Catholics in the country occurs across the Tumen River in China,where North Koreans occasionally cross illegally to meet with family from the South. Some North Koreans are baptized on the Chinese side and return to Korea,practicing their faith in secrecy.
