Lashing back against your hippie elders isn't just for Young Republican preps: Teresa Watanabe of The Los Angeles Times reports on the seminary class of the early '80s -- a generation ordained under Pope John Paul II that rebelled against the older, more liberal priests ordained during the 1960s reforms brought on by the Second Vatican Council. Fully dedicated to the orthodox teachings of the presiding pope, many of these young conservatives believe that artificial birth control and gay sex are always a sin; oppose the ordination of women and wear the black cassock abandoned by most priests decades ago.
