That one on the clergy is the most significant, and should be a major focus of US attention... as well as the Vatican's. The Vatican cares nothing about the nationality rules on catholic priests. It only cares about loyalty of the ones there to Rome.

The point is that the nationality rules prevent sending priests to Mexico. There is fantastic shortage of priests in Mexico, a shortage which makes the US and Europe seem as if they are having a fire sale on priests. The most populous province in Mexico has TWENTY-FOUR THOUSAND Catholics per priest!

And those priests that are there lack any authentic Catholic formation because the only ones who can develop their formation are the ones who survived the elimination of the authentic Catholic priests.

Mexico is a nation in which most of the population professes to be Catholic, very many sincerely, and yet there is essentially no Catholic Church.

And THAT should be a GRAVE problem to Rome.
