If you can't even get 1% of students you've had 12 years to indoctrinate into the faith to see it as a viable lifestyle, something has to change or the Church will continue to decline.

Maybe they weren't really teaching the Catholic Faith.

The FSSP seminary in Nebraska is full. The Nashville Dominican sisters are turning away potential novices: no room left in the convent. Dioceses with vigorous orthodox bishops, like Fargo, ND, have plenty of vocations to the priesthood. Mother Angelica's convent is full.

The Nashville Dominicans say that girls who call them ask two questions: "Are you primarily a teaching or nursing order?" and "Do you wear a habit?" (Answers: "teaching" and "yes") They look and act like sisters, not like grouchy, man-hating, church-hating refugees from the local NAG chapter.

The vocations are out there, but they are vocations to the Catholic priesthood & religious life, not to the AmChurch priesthood of feminist ideology, heresy, and banal liturgy.

The FSSP seminary is constantly begging money from me. They want to expand their facilities so they don't have to tur applicants away.
