What numbers do you have to back up your assertion that these dioceses are producing record number of priests. Straight, celibate priests?

Wishful thinking perhaps?

Then decades more of denial.

The numbers are available for anyone to see. I saw them in a recent issue (last two years) of New Oxford Review which listed all the dioceses in the US and the numbers of seminarians they had. I even posted it on FR at the time.

One example is the seminary of the FSSP in Lincoln, Nebraska which is bursting at the seams. They've already built one new wing, and are in the process of building more. For the record, FSSP priests say the old Latin Mass, in case that tells you anything....
