Don't worry: the younger generation is more conservative than the past.

I know whereof I speak: I am a part of that generation.

Actually, my sister goes to the Catholic University of America (in Washington DC) and she has said that the students are fully orthodox down there, and that many are contemplating the priesthood and the convent.

It's encouraging.

Thanks... Your news is very heartening.

I also concur with your thoughts of the younger generation coming up.

Having taught CCD for the past number of years I see a very devout core of students who are very conservative in thought and deed.

Yes, indeed, that's the trend. The majority of those persons under the age of 30 are pro-life (no doubt having something to do with their moral character), and about 25 students from the Catholic University in Washington D.C. recently participated in a pro-life retreat in New York, of which I was a speaker. They were young, intelligent and devout Catholics, with a real desire to spread the true doctrine of our faith. God bless them!
