Paper tiger?

I thought I had posted a link to this article by Sandro Magister - South Korea, the Asian Tiger of the Church.

Has the Church in Korea already lost? The Church in Korea is noted for its growing numbers (while the Protestant ecclesial communities are holding steady or in decline) and it is a respectable political force. It also has great social prestige because of its social work? But what is the average number of children per Catholic couple? Is there a problem with the use of artificial contraception? How many converts stay with the Church beyond their initial fervor and enthusiasm? How have Catholic youth fared against the assault by popular culture against traditional morals and roles? Is it doing enough to address the spiritual crisis of metropolitan Koreans? How has it countered Korean feminism? The Church has vocations to the priesthood and the religious life, but does it have enough priests for a better, more intensely local form of evangelization in the megapolis? Are the laity being encouraged to adopt a greater witness to evangelical "simplicity" (poverty)? With the decline in the morality of Korean mass media, are Korean Catholics slowly giving up [most of] television, movies, and pop music?
