Wrong answer! Liberal dioceses have the least vocations; orthodox dioceses have the most.

But they never suggest fidelity to the Church's teaching as a solution, do they?

Even "orthodox dioceses" are not recruiting sufficient numbers of men to replace those who leave, retire, and die.

The lack of a condemnation of this letter from Cardinal Pell is very telling.

One of the best places to put our faith is in Adoration before the Blessed Sacrament. The places where vocations to the priesthood are occurring is in the parishes that have 24/7 Adoration. (Reagrdless of the leanings of the bishop/archbishop.)

So if people want more and holy priests then they should be taking part in the 24/7 Adorations that are happening all across the U. S.

C'mon, you know that the stance on celibacy is just Church law not a doctrinal issue. It is truly an issue that has to be looked at with some seriousness, not with a knee-jerk reactionary attitude. The fact that some traditional orders are doing better than many liberal ones probably is due to other factors as well.....they don't want to put up with wacked out liturgies.
