The revelation shook the Campolo family dynamic and forced father and son to each reconsider his own personal journey of faith--dual spiritual investigations into theology, faith, and Humanism that eventually led Bart and Tony back to one another. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn \u003cem\u003eWhy I Left, Why I Stayed\u003c\/em\u003e, the Campolos reflect on their individual spiritual odysseys and how they evolved when their paths diverged.
