Speaking as a seminarian, I don't believe every word of this article, its headline is way too hyperbolic. This next semester in my seminary we're getting another (mine was 64) class of around 60+ young men, who are considering their vocation to the priesthood.

I agree that it will be the case that several orders are and will be struggling for the next couple years. I do know that isn't the case at all with some of the more newer orders that hold on to good Catholic tradition, some of them are bursting at the seems with those discerning vocations.

The truth is that at least for my parish church, it is seeing a new springtime or rebirth because it has a new priest who is in his early 40’s. He is part of the JPII generation of priests that are now stepping up to the plate.

18 vocations in MEMPHIS, TN! And only two are older vocations. The Spirit moves where He will!
