Look, there are two major reasons for the priest shortage:
1. Smaller families in the Christian World
2. Greater Economic opportunity in an increasingly urbanized society. This is why even Mexican parishes have a shortage of priests.

But since there are also a lot more Catholics in the world than there have ever been before, it stands to reason that those numbers would be somewhat offset.
