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.
