Why are men in the West not responding to calls to the priesthood, whereas men in Latin America, Africa, and Asia seem to be?

If Africa, and Asia priests evangelized here would you have a problem with that? If the west can't get it done,then let it be done by any means available.

If celibacy is more important than being served by native priests, then that's what will happen.

I shudder, though. Our parish is already served by a young Hispanic man, who struggles with English in conversation, and who has to read every word of his homilies.
