I'm not sure that that's actually the case, though I would be incredibly happy if it was.

If, however, that is in fact so, I think it's because they judge (and rightly so) that the Catholic Church is true. The main reason for that has to be the Eucharist, or more commonly known as Holy Communion, the Body and Blood of Christ. This makes Jesus, God incarnate, more real and present to them.

Additionally, the Church has a very rich philosophical, theological, and spiritual tradition which runs contrary to the materialism and nihilism that runs rampant throughout and has so corrupted the world these days. They see the rotten fruits of occultism, feminism (even though the Church has plenty of problems with feminism nowadays as well, but that's a different discussion), and Marxism. They see how depressed, indulgent, and anxious many people are as well and don't want to live like that.

As for how they're discovering it? They likely were either asking questions or reflecting on certain things, hopped on Google, and searched for something related to the Church. Or they might have come across a podcast or YouTube channel like Taylor Marshall, Scott Hahn, Matt Fradd, or a priest like Father Chad Ripperger (yes, that is his real name), Bishop Robert Barron, Father Mike Schmitz, or someone else along those lines.

That or it's possible that they have a friend, coworker, or family member who is a practicing Catholic and is able to explain things to them.

I dunno man, I could write pages about this.

Francis is gone. But we need a two-fisted pope like John paul.
