The Tablet January 27, 2021
By Deacon Philip Franco, PhD
Like most American 12 year-olds, my youngest son Joseph is obsessed with all things Catholic. (Yes, that was sarcasm.) He is fascinated with theology and Church structures. Recently, Joseph discovered something that rekindled my love and interest in the Eastern Church.
Joey discovered the various Eastern Rites of the Catholic Church on the internet. He was immediately fascinated, and we embarked on a little adventure, checking out different Eastern Catholic Liturgies each of the past few Sundays. His interest served as wonderful father-son trips to share time and get some very delicious but unhealthy breakfasts all over New York.
