I don't see any evidence in the polls of this theologically conservative resurgance among younger Catholics. In fact, at least in the US, I tend to recall the opposite.

You recall correctly.

If the younger Catholics are the future of the Church, they'll be a lot more liberal morally than their parents.

I wish that it were otherwise, but I fear that you are correct.
In my Modernist parish(as well as throughout this area), most of our young folks, Catholic or not, shack up for a period of months or even years before marriage.
Very few of these kids, even those who attended (pseudo)Catholic colleges, care much about traditional morality or the faith.
