You mean the older generations strongly and vocally dislike everything the Church has stood for? And then we wonder why so few of the younger generation stayed in the Church? And those who did stay in the Church strongly and vocally support support everything the Church has stood for? Well goodness, what inscrutable mysteries these are. I guess we’ll just never understand what could have happened.

"The authors of the Australian summary said there were several possible reasons for the conservatism voiced by younger respondents. "

It's always interesting to see social science surveys explain away any sort of conservatism as being the result of closemindedness, mental derangement or secret perversity (they seem to have chosen option "A" here).

Also interesting that "me generation" baby boomers are still considered the norm and any other group some sort of weird deviant.
