Yep. There's a priest shortage, but as Michael Rose argued, and this article concurs...it is artificial, and solvable.
Throw out the hetrodox bishops, replace them with orthodox bishops, and the priest "shortage" will evaporate.
Yes. It's interesting that the "not so successful dioceses" came as no surprise and the "successful dioceses" didn't either. Now if the progressives are
really serious about the "Eucharist Famine" that they keep insisting we are facing, they might start to look at the dioceses that are successfully retaining priests and attracting men with vocations and work from there. But I won't hold my breath.
I like facts... they are our friends!
