Wherein Reuters gets it right

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.

Reuters:

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 won't make a practice of cross-posting things I see on other blogs, but I liked this a lot and wanted to share. Hat Tip:American Papist
