I keep hearing that there are more and more people my age finding the church. I'm still pretty fresh in this journey myself, but anecdotally, I'd say they're onto something.
One reason for this search is that many young Catholics were not brought up with a strong sense of religious identity, in contrast to parents and grandparents who were altar boys or procession flower girls, ate no meat on Fridays and thought it was a sin to enter a synagogue or a Protestant church."You get a lot of searching. One challenge is that parish life is not as central as it was 30 or 40 years ago," he said.
I don't intend to cross-post a lot of stuff that I see on other blogs, but I thought this was particulary good. Hat tip: American Papist.
