>>You tell me where the difference is. The younger Catholics, young families in my chapel in their 20's and early 30's have 5, 6, and 7 kids.<<

My church as well! The norm is four children. With the exception of people like me who were old bags when we started having kids and/or have health problems connected with Pregnancy, big families are it.

But then again we are the weird ones. We have only Altar Boys, sing some Latin at our EWTNlike Holy Mass, no guitars, no dancing girls, May Crowning, Corpus Christi........should I go on?

you describe my parish as well, much larger young families and much more traditional Masses, with actual right and wrong preached from the pulpit. i very much disagree with the assertion that younger families are MORE liberal than their parents families. that is not what i see at all.
