New York's Catholics

The Documentary

Available for over a year

The religious face of New York is being transformed. Once the preserve of the Irish Catholics, New York's churches are now filled with Hispanic Catholics. The dominance of the Irish immigrant community has long been on the wane - but not so the Irish leadership of the Catholic Church, which is still led by an Irish American Archbishop. Maurice Walsh travels to New York to talk to Catholics about the leaders of their community.
