How large is the Unification Church? I thought they were a pretty big organization.

Also, this paragraph is hilarious:

The Unification Church, meanwhile, has claimed that engaging in activities that violate Japan's civil law should not be considered grounds for ordering its dissolution and that the government's questioning of the group is illegal.

"Just because we broke the law doesn't mean you're allowed to question us!"

Good(?) to know that borderline cults are just as entitled no matter what part of the world they're in.
