I admire the logic and objectivity of Fr. Reese's articles and this is yet one more example. Having said that, he touched on the disillusionment of the new generation with institutions. I would have liked an expansion on this observation as it seems to be at the core of why we are seeing the rise in the "nones" and "independents". Why is this happening? What can be done to get them more involved. For religious institutions, it isn't just teachings as all denominations are observing the same trend. 

There is nothing more dangerous to a democracy (or church) than apathy.
