Film focuses on couple who resisted power of Catholic Church 

Sinéad O’Shea's latest documentary is set in her hometown of Navan, looking at Mary and Paddy Randles, and their efforts to help people who were being wronged by the Catholic Church, writes Esther McCarthy

A scene from Pray for our Sinners.

Filmmaker and journalist Sinéad O’Shea’s latest documentary tells some very personal stories of people whose lives were impacted by the power of the Catholic Church. But Pray For Our Sinners takes a different route - focusing instead on those who managed to push back against the Church’s dominance in decades past.

O’Shea returns to her hometown of Navan to document the extraordinary story of a couple who found ways to resist - even helping some women to avoid forced adoption and mother and baby homes.
