An American nun, Sister Christine Schenk from FutureChurch, noted that parishes in the United States are being affected by the shortage of priests.

Why don't they just go join the Episcopalians? Is it not enough that these kind of crazies have already destroyed the Episcopalians as a Christian denomination? Do they have to keep working to destroy us too?
