SEOUL, South Korea (AP) - The Unification Church says the Rev. Sun Myung Moon's condition has worsened and he will be moved to a church-owned hospital near his home.
Moon is a self-proclaimed messiah whose church runs a worldwide multibillion-dollar religious and business empire that includes the hospital.
Officials said Friday that the church founder has developed new complications since being hospitalized for pneumonia at Seoul St. Mary's Hospital earlier this month. Officials say doctors in Seoul say they cannot cure him. The complications involve Moon's kidney and liver but officials didn't elaborate further.
The church plans to move the unconscious Moon later Friday to Cheongshim Hospital in a town northeast of Seoul.
The church says followers will pray over Moon and he'll be given expert medical treatment.
Moon is 92.
