Arrrgh! I've had enough of this "shortage of priests" nay saying.
This is how to respond to liberals crying to force acceptance of those not worthy to be priests:
"GIVE US MORE CHILDREN AND YOU'LL HAVE YOUR PRIESTS!!!"
In other words, marriages must stop limiting their creative gift to renew life (absolutely no contraception) and start having more babies. Average families limited to 2 or 3 kids won't need a huge priest population. Furthermore, the way that today's secular society wants to euthanize the elderly, there won't be much of a need to serve baby boomers several years from now...they'll all be dead.
The "priest shortage" is all about putting homosexuals and married couples (women included) into the priesthood. The argument has about as much validity as "global overpopulation". They are both false arguments. Communities having a long devotion and faithfulness to Church teachings don't have a shortage of Grace.

Excellent post, by the way.
Families with one son, or with one son and one daughter are not likely to steer and encourage their son toward the priesthood.
Families that are open to life and which have several sons and daughters are more likely to encourage vocations.
