Even Bishop Chaput, another Bishop in Colorado, Bishop Bruskiewitz (sp?) and one in Northern VA (Richmond?) are overflowing with ordinations. Father Anthony from EWTN's Franciscan Friars of the Eternal Word has lined up something like 13 novices this Fall. At the FSSP, they are turning away vocations and asking that people pay their own way...In the Philippines and Poland there is still stiff competition to become a priest.

It's all about the leftists, their flimsy mainline Protestant Theology that gets passed off as Catholic teaching and (in some cases) outlandish homosexuality that turns off men.

The priestly vocations crisis mirrors the married vocations crisis. People are just not going for it and sticking with it.

Let us not adopt more Protestantism and be led to believe the Church was invented in 1965 as some portray. It is the poison that has sickened us for 40 years. In 2000, you find out what works, we have the tools, we just need to get off our lazy butts and do it.

O Come, Holy Inquisition!

"Even Bishop Chaput, another Bishop in Colorado, Bishop Bruskiewitz (sp?) and one in Northern VA (Richmond?) are overflowing with ordinations."

The diocese in Northern VA that continues to increase in vocations yearly is the Diocese of Arlington. The Diocese of Richmond is the one with the horrific mess the new bishop, DiLorenzo, is in the process of doing a major revamp and clean-up.
