In the meantime, priests are leaving your churches high and dry. It’s time for a change.

Actually vocations are UP, not down, and fewer priests are leaving than in the decades after the 1960s. Those were ordained in the 1960s and 1970s were often poorly trained and educated. Many left. Today, things are much different. Some seminaries actually receive TOO MANY applications. “Particularly at a time when vocations to the priesthood are rare in the West, it is an extraordinary blessing to have so many vocations that we have been forced to construct two new seminary buildings.” http://www.latin-mass-society.org/fssp.htm

All those diocese which have good bishops who insist on orthodox teaching have seen their vocations to the priesthood go up in recent years. It has happened in my diocese.

In the mean time, God is leaving the Elim cult high and dry.
