The Catholic Bishops' Conference of Korea (hereafter the CBCK) is the organization of the Bishops of Korea established by the Apostolic See in order to carry out jointly pastoral functions for the common good of the Catholic Church in Korea(cf. Statutes of the CBCK, art. 1; CIC, can. 447 & 449).

The CBCK exchanges informations and opinions, and deliberates and discusses important matters of common concern for the whole Church in Korea, and makes decisions and issues decrees in consideration of the most appropriate forms and means of the apostolate and in accordance with the needs of the times. The CBCK asks the Apostolic See for the common solution of the problems, if necessary, and implements the decrees of the Apostolic See. And the CBCK treats all that is requested by the Apostolic See and the matters concerning the common good of the Universal Church and the Church in Korea.
