NBC Owned Television stations in cities around the nation asked employees of the Roman Catholic Church what they wanted American Catholics and the public at large to know about the inner-workings of the church.

Many of the comments from priests, deacons, nuns, religious brothers and lay employees reflected a workforce aware of the church’s imperfections. But the deeply personal perspectives also showed a resolve to make the world a better place through religious service.
