text: What "hard and fast rules"? There are precious few "hard and fast" rules" in the post Vatican II Church. As for "fewer people under the age of 30 in our faith", go to any traditional Mass and you will find the Church or Chapel packed with "young people". They go precisely because they see today's Church withering on the vine of relativism and modernism, and they know there is such a thing as objective truth--truths that were taught clearly and unambiguously taught until VII. They are sick and tired of kumbaya Catholicism. You sound like the post-election democrat spin masters who think the Donald won because Hillary was not sufficiently leftist, and that the party ought to track even further toward a pseudo Marxist nanny state. They, like the modernists, simply don't get it.
