The problem, however, is the lack of vocations.” (In a later section of the interview, Pope Francis explains: “One does not get more vocations with the help of proselytism.”)

Last year the archdiocese ordained just 12 new priests, as opposed to 40-50 per year when Bergoglio took over.

The facts speak for themselves.
