Hey, I just might be tempted if the majority of Catholics I knew were like the few participating in this thread. Fortunately, the majority of American Catholics, period, are in favor of ordaining women priests. :)
“American Catholics continue to be open to new ideas for parish leadership. 61% of respondents agreed that the Catholic Church should allow women to serve as priests. Generational differences are apparent, as less than half (47%) of those born in 1940 or earlier approve the idea, while two-thirds (66%) of those born after 1960 endorse female ordination.”

Thus the majority of American Catholics are wrong. There was once a time when most of Europe was Arian; that didn't make them right.
I'm going to echo what ArrogantBustard, sitetest, and others are saying. Healthy doses of traditional piety and orthodoxy produce vocations to the priesthood and religious life, while modernist nonsense does not.
The Church spoke. The issue is closed. Those who follow what the Church teaches seem to be growing and flourishing, while those who do not are graying and dying out.
I'm going to ask you an honest question, and I would appreciate an honest answer: How do you explain the trends we point out, which are completely contrary to the position you support?
So you are only proving the poor catechism that most American’s who call themselves Catholic have received. If and when the Church ever becomes answerable to a majority vote on matters of faith and moral bring on your polls. Till then take a hike.
