Divided Chinese Catholic Church Looks for Reconciliation

Video Episode

Officials of the Catholic Church in China say their church is growing, despite internal tensions that have split the church into rival factions.

Some Catholics accept the role of the Chinese government in religious affairs, while others -- members of the so-called underground church -- reject it.

As Mike O'Sullivan reports from Beijing, there are efforts underway to bring the sides together.
