Amid news of the wave of young adults coming into the Church this past year, I asked a friend, a young father and recent Catholic convert, what it was that drew him into the Church. He told me that he had initially turned to various non-denominational churches. He met wonderful people and learned a lot; however, he felt something was missing. He thought briefly and then said, “You know, it felt like the dads there wanted to be young and cool, and it feels like the dads in the Catholic community are striving to be men.”
