Tough getting priests at all in this modern world.

Most are coming from Ireland, Africa and India these days, right?

It's also interesting, and I don't have any specifics, but I've read that the area where there are more young priests is Religious Orders, not Diocesan priests....and that some of the newer orders are attracting very dedicated young orthodox men, whereas the Jesuits, Benedictines, Dominicans, etc are shrinking. Not sure how true that is, but as many of the older orders (for women too, especially the Benedictines) have become more "liberal" and less true to the Church. The experimentalism that attracted young people decades ago now seems to repel them....???
