A thread like this can quickly become depressing. <snip> ... 
Are souls being saved? That's the only question of any importance. The trends seem to suggest that there are young people hearing a call from God to actively engage the precious and living heritage - Tradition - of God's Holy Church and launch Her to the future. A future of growth collecting God's children into Catholic unity.

Your post signifies that threads like these can be uplifting as well!  :-)  Here's to the "glass half full" crowd!

The eternal cynic Deacon notwithstanding, and GDP aside, the US will always have "enough" priests.

But the definition of the term "enough" is a bit slippery, eh?
