NYer, that picture is from the Legion of Christ ordination I believe. I was present at their ordination at Santa Maria Maggiore Basilica this last Dec 23rd in Rome for it. My old college roomate was one of 55 (could be off a couple) ordained. 3 hour ceremony and quite amazing to see the fully lit up Basilica.

They are growing. Along with the North American College in Rome you are seeing a large number of young, dedicated, men making their way to priesthood.

Whole event was simply amazing.

I subscribe to Netflix, and just yesterday I saw "Diary of a Country Priest," mad ein in 1936, if I recall correctly. I recommend it. In passing it notes that already at that time many young priests were dropping out because the priesthood was not what they expected. A powerful story of a saintly priest with none of the tone of hagiography. Based on the book by Bernanos.
