No, here in NW PA. We've had a very lib, amchurch kind of diocese for the last 20 or so years and longer if you count the place many of our priests hail from, and the fruits are evident. It seems, especially since the easing of rules and requirements in the 60's and 70's, that more and more of us know of priests who never really should have been priests or who were given a sort of Catholic-lite priesthood to follow and their faith sometimes faltered as a result. Luckily, we know many more good and faithful priests, but that's another story.

This is very true up here as well.
