The new generation in Western Europe is slightly better, but there are not that many of them. However there is one ace in the hole.

The former Eastern Bloc countries have a lot of Christians coming out of the catacombs. The seed of revival (for lack of better word) is there. They have seen what secularism and socialism do, and don't really want to go on that ride again. You said that the Orthodox passed under the Iron Curtain because of sin, and that maybe right. But those countries are now becoming the place where the reconversion is starting.

I think you are mistaking me for another FReeper with that, but I do agree with you entirely.

I remember early this year watching on EWTN a special about a Ukranian Eastern Rite Catholic monostic communities, both the men and the women. A large number of new members are young adults. So if the start of Christian revival comes, it will come from the eastern side. Also the Orthodox churches are going through a revival also.
