There are reasons why the younger Boomer generation is leaving the “Church in which they were raised.” One, Their parents left the Tradition of the Church themselves and they “left it up to their children to choose their own religion.” This creates a void of a stable Tradition which you can objectively regard as true, and which objectively leads to heaven.
Second, it has been well documented that children who grow up in homes where there is a conflict in religion of the parents (separate churches), the children do not have a true Catholic identity and they easily leave the Church for something they like better.
Third, even when both parents are “Catholic,” but one parent is more committed to Christ and His Church than the other, do the children grow up religious or non-religious? Neither, they grow up ANTI-RELIGIOUS. The divorce rate among such parents and their children matches the general public. Among Traditional practicing families the divorce rate is .03% or so. Nothing replaces the REAL THING in religion to guarantee vigor and growth.
I am not sure the Vatican II devotees in the episcopate are willing to acknowledge the inevitable demographic collapse that is already well underway enough to change course to favor Tradition. Many fear (IMHO) appearing retrograde theolgically and even morally in the eyes of their peers who despise Tradition.
