text: You're exactly right.  Like most people, the young don't want to wade through tomes on Thomism or  BXVI or JPII.  Even federal judges are that way.  As a lawyer, I know that if you want the judge to read your brief, you'd better keep it simple and clear, with very linear logic.  Most young Catholics are very different from the young Catholics of 50 years ago.   They want the shortest route to the truth.
