Why is Gen Z Converting to Catholicism? Exploring Trends and Tensions

Join me for a conversation with my guest, Anthony Costello, as we dive into the rising trend of young people, especially Gen Z, converting to Roman Catholicism. Discover what’s driving this shift— from the appeal of tradition and liturgical beauty to frustrations with modern evangelicalism. We also tackle tough questions, including the historical and contemporary tensions around anti-Semitism in some Catholic circles, and explore the impact of Vatican II and traditionalist movements. Tune in for a balanced, thought-provoking discussion on faith, culture, and identity. #Catholicism #GenZFaith #ReligiousTrends #VaticanII #Christianity #TradCatholic #FaithAndCulture Read Anthony's article: "3 (or 4) Types of Anti-Semitism, And Why We Must Fight Them" –– https://www.patheos.com/blogs/theologicalapologetics/2022/11/three-or-four-types-of-anti-semitism-and-how-to-fight-against-them/ Watch the video mentioned by Anthony with Catholic apologist, Trent Horn: " Protestantism is Winning (and the Lesson for Catholics)" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OcM4lpTvhaU Watch the panel discussion from the Philos Project mentioned by Anthony: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RTePJr2LeD4 Nostre Aetate (official statement of the Roman Catholic Church on Jews): https://www.vatican.va/archive/hist_councils/ii_vatican_council/documents/vat-ii_decl_19651028_nostra-aetate_en.html My playlist related to Catholicism, Orthodoxy and Christian Ecumenism: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLHfxxaVbHJabAOkW366yEAXc_mLFWWRtT
