Looking at post 64, I see some very incorrect information.

There is not, nor has there been, a “pedophile scandal.” The problems were almost monolithically with common, garden-variety homosexuals. The number of offenses against pre-pubesent children has been miniscule.

If a person hasn’t been paying enough attention to know that fundamental fact, I have to wonder what their opinion could be worth.

As a Catholic, you refer to the falloff in vocations as a “labor shortage?” How odd.

Vocations are already on the upswing in conservative dioceses, and have been for some time. As the Vat II generation priests pass, they will be replaced by a new generation of young priests committed to undoing the depredations of those enemies of the Church. Just doing away with altar girls would produce a double-digit surge in vocations, and ridding the seminaries of sodomites would do even more.

The Church is not dead, nor, despite Satan’s best efforts, is it dying.

Labor shortage is short and easy to say and applies, and I am not a Catholic.

What are the numbers for the great growth in Priest applications? You have said it a couple of times as though the problem is over and everything will be rosy from now on, but I am curious what the actual numbers are, how many slots need to be filled, and how are the applicants being tested and vetted?

By the way shouldn’t you ping that poster if you have criticism of his post 64
