The pre Vatican II ordination numbers for a diocese of 500K may have been 10-12 a year, so 9 this year for the Washington archdiocese is actually a very good number. On the other hane, the LA archdiocese, a diocese that has 8 times the number of baptised Catholics that Washington does, is ordaining 4 priests this year.

I have to think that this is mostly Mahoney's doing or 'undoing' if you prefer to call it that.

Only 4 ordinations to the priesthood in LA?! That alone is a scandal. It also speaks volumes about the future of the liberal wing of the Church.
