In the years of the Great Famine the ugly charge of offering food and material benefits in return for religious conversion tainted the Missions work. John MacHale, powerful Catholic Archbishop of Tuam spearheaded the Catholic Church's fight back against the masses of conversions.
This dramatic tales disputes if Edward Nangle and the Achill Mission Colony saved hundreds from certain death or if they shamefully exploited people to religious conversion and exposes the fault lines of religion and politics down to this day.
