Not a very astute observation of contemporary religion and faith at all.  You completely neglect the fact that a large part of the problem with all denominational religions (and even the Evangelical churches are running in the same problems) is that the rituals and observances you strict traditionalists love and are devoted to, are not attractive to the two or three generations younger than yours.  Those under the age of 50 are also opposed to the discriminatory practices of many Christian churches, and especially Catholicism.  So, while you look to fasting and bans on female clergy and Forty Hours and all of that, you can't see what is really happening outside the vestibule of your parish church.  Which is why most of us younger then you do not want or need your counsel: we have heard it all before.
