I do know that there was a girl thing at Bronx Science that they weren't going to get dragged into sexual activity of any sort until they were good and ready, and anybody who didn't like it could go f*ck himself. I get the impression that this was not a majority position, but a pretty substantial subculture, and not particularly religious. The promiscuity that the generation just after mine took for granted is out, and it's not just an AIDS thing. The Austin Powers movies make some jokes on the cultural revolution.

Is theology taboo, or just not there? Catholics in particular have made religion so much an affair of the heart that one just doesn't look to it for enlightenment. And (in my opinion) the homosexualization of the clergy had brought about a certain amount of more or less deliberate obfuscation.
