Decline of the Irish Catholic Church
Clip: 7/15/2011 | 7m 31s
The once powerful Catholic church in Ireland is struggling to stay relevant.
Church attendance in Ireland has been dropping precipitously, and the number of priests being ordained from the country's only Catholic seminary is at an all time low. "The young people, the under 40's, have largely deserted the church in Ireland now," says Rev. Tony Flannery of the Association of Catholic Priests.
