Fascinating ...
Hmmm ...
Religious life? Old, anti-traditional orders are indeed dying ... whilst new, orthodox orders are thriving. But MSM won't tell you that.
Vocations to the priesthood? Easy to find ... just look for dioceses where the Bishop hasn't fallen for the least-common-denominator "relevance" that the proponents of democracy in the Church have been clamouring for these last 40 years.
Overflowing Parishes? Easy to find. You'll usually find an orthodox, faithful, courageous, self-sacrificing priest as Pastor.
My opinion here may or may not be bigoted, but it is securely based on Scripture, Tradition, and my observations of the Church for a few decades.
There is a small subset of Catholics moving toward a more fundamentalist approach. But in the real world, the sheer numbers are alarming. More and more parishes with no priests, shrinking attendance, rampant school closings. The majority of new priests are coming from other continents, and there aren’t nearly enough of them. The status quo is not working.
