"I don't know about you, but I predict that, sooner or later, American Catholics, who are the financial backbone of the Church at large, will tire of supporting parishes with no resident priest."
So wealthy American parishes are somehow 'entitled' to the priests that they can't or won't generate themselves?
In my view, parishes that can't or won't find even one inspired man to become a priest have a whole lot more wrong with them than a lack of vocations.
Many of us posting FR go to tiny parishes that seem to have a wealth of vocations. In spite of the relative economic poverty of those parishes. In spite of the celibacy requirements.
Good for you. It may be a blessing in disguise that laymen are assuming more responsibility in the Church. Priests will focus on the sacramental ministry, and lay people will do everything else.
