Sarasi1 you have "nailed-it".

 "they (young people) have not been raised with fear and obedience .. (but) with evidence and critical thinking".

I'm in my 70's and I have completed that circle, in the last twenty years. Evidence and critical thinking by the laity, is what is required to bring the institutional church to account. The mediaeval church is still alive and well, within the walls of the Vatican, despite the best endeavours of Francis. Clericalism is also an active pursuit outside the Vatican; for  individuals like Tobin.

My children's generation have already "switched off". My grandchildren will not understand but are present to the main events. The critical issue for the hierarchy, is that the majority  have withdrawn their authority to be dictated to by bishops.  Very few of them understand the factors involved. Here in Ireland, Archbishop Diarmuid Martin of Dublin, is one of the very few bishops worldwide;  who can articulate the reality of the situation publicly.
