In this episode of All Things Catholic we follow Joe Estevez on Saint Patrick’s Day to celebrate all things Irish Catholic.
We get a first hand account of the sometimes violent conflict in Northern Ireland otherwise known as “The Troubles” with a refreshingly optimistic woman who grew up in the middle of it as she distinguishes it from its popular “Catholic versus Protestant” distinction to one of just a struggle for dignity and basic human rights for all of humanity.
We also go to downtown Los Angeles where there is a small gathering to celebrate Irishman of the Year 2014 where we interview its recipient singer Dennis McNeil, watch traditional Irish dancing, get a history lesson on the Ireland connection to The Titanic as well as other factoids about anything Irish, and interview award winning actress Fionnula Flanagan.
