Excerpt:

“But now, as the generation raised under the more orthodox Pope John Paul II comes of age, some young Catholics are searching for a more rigorous form of faith.”

…yes, this is called hyper-orthodoxy, the wave of the future, the true fruit of Vatican II, the legacy of JPII, …move over you growing old, growing obsolete, graying head liberals!

“Even under John Paul II’s conservative successor, it is a stretch to say that young Catholics like these—whose numbers nationally are impossible to determine—represent the future of the church.”

…of course, the writer could not resist inserting his personal bias sucker punch. :nope:
 
Article quote: “Even under John Paul II’s conservative successor, it is a stretch to say that young Catholics like these—whose numbers nationally are impossible to determine—represent the future of the church. Soon they will graduate into a more secular world, but they promise to stay devoted.”

No, it isn’t a stretch to say that these folks are the future of the Church. Look at the young people who are active in parishes and apostolates, look at the seminaries, look at the young priests and younger bishops: by and large these people live a no-nonsense faith that is burning with zeal and deep in fidelity.

This is the devout renewal—the New Evangelization—that Vatican II was intended to bring about. In the face of this there are two choices: acquiesce or get out of the way.
