False Priests in Japan
In Japan the trend is for western style weddings. Only 1 % of the Japanese population is
Christian and yet 70% get married in church. The demand for priests is so important that
marriage centres hire whoever comes through their doors. Anglo Saxons are the most in
demand: French, Italian or Spanish. They are professors, barmen or restaurant owners and after a
few days of training, usually given by unscrupulous matchmakers, these new priests give out
marriage certificates as artificial as the chapels in which they operate. With absolutely no
religious conviction whatsoever. © STEPHANE REMAEL
