On Young People Looking for Liturgical Substance

“Everywhere I go these days I’m running into young converts to Catholicism.

“Just last month my wife and I had the awesome honor of being godparents at the baptism of a former evangelical, a young woman in her mid-twenties whose love for the Lord has inspired us both.

“A week later we went to the wedding of another young man we know who came into the Catholic Church a few years back.”

In a recent commentary, Michael Barber (Professor of Theology, Scripture and Catholic Thought at John Paul the Great Catholic University,San Diego, CA) offered a recent essay on the trend of a number of young people moving to Christian traditions (including Roman Catholicism) that offer liturgical substance.
