It also seems clear that Bergoglio wasn’t perfect, despite the fact that it’s hard right now to find many Argentines willing to say so out loud. For instance, vocations to the priesthood have been falling in Buenos Aires on his watch, despite the fact they’re up in some other dioceses. Last year the archdiocese ordained just 12 new priests, as opposed to 40-50 per year when Bergoglio took over.

The facts speak for themselves.

I suspected the problem of vocations (depending on Diocese) caused by Left/Right Orthodoxy/Progressivism bishops, and their views was a worldwide scandal. I clicked the link provided, and I didn't find it, was the address incomplete? Thank you for posting.

Bergoglio likes to break things that aren’t broken, and then “fix” them to his liking.

Repellent exemplars in leadership roles tend to have a dampening effect on recruitment. Ditto perfidious gatekeepers.
