[@martingerber8277]

Robert, you are refreshingly right. As a retired priest, I can tell you that many bishops are manager, not Apostles. They avoid anything controversial and want to stay under the radar screen of Rome. Sound doctrine and morals are not of major importance to them. Many are poorly catechized themselves. Priests who have zeal fo souls and insist on the faith are cancelled and retired early. Priests who want power, without zeal for souls, who do what they are told, become bishops. It's like that in US, also.

Thank you, Robert, for your balanced review. I, an American, live in France in the Occitania region south of France not too far from Toulon-Frey home of mMsgr Rey's diocese.. My heart sunk when I heard the Vatican kicked Msgr Rey to the curb just as he did with our beloved Bishop Strickland from Tyler, Texas.. I agree with you that this gentle Bishop has had so much zeal in restoring priestly vocations in his diocese. That was a beacon of light for us in other vacuous regions in France starving for holy priests to keep our churches open. . In the Aveyron diocese here, we would have given anything to have had a kind, gentle Bishop who welcomed seminarians with open arms and stuck by them during their being put on hold for years like pawns by the Vatican. To the popesplainer commenter who gave PF the justification for this and what other harsh actions of punishing and humiliating other Bishops and clergy who are seeking to preach and teach the absolute moral truths to the laity that has been secularized by Rome and the Hierarchy, these, such as Bishop Strickland, Archbishop Vigano, Cardinal Burke, Cardinal Zen, Cardinal Sarah, Cardinal Mueller, to name a few, in my opinion, are courageous white martyrs who stand up for the one true and apostolic Church founded by Jesus Christ. I pray for these good men of God that are like St. John the Baptist who spoke up loudly in his defense of our Lord at the risk of losing his head. The Vatican has become a bullying pulpit with a malfeasance dictatorship spirit from the top down as they spew and gag us with their synodality false ape church teachings just as Archbishop Fulteen Sheen in his time so prophesied. PF's decisions under his own 'zero tolerance' mandate full of hypocrisy and for those who are defying his position is backfiring as these good prelates and clergy keep finding a greater and louder unified voice of Truth that resonates more and more with us the faithful laity. " You will know them by their fruit." We are in an immense spiritual battle today for saving souls for Our Lord, prying them out of the wretched hands of the devil. Pray ernestly for your Priests, Bishops, and Cardinals that they may have the Holy Spirit infuse in them wisdom and the intestinal fortitude to defend our true Church at all costs. Amen.😮❤🎉😊

You ask: Where are the young people? One answer is at the Latin Mass, although only in small numbers. At the Latin Mass that I attend, the median age of the congregation is under 30. The church is served by Oratorian Fathers, and they had an ordination last year and three novices. So that particular parish should be well supplied with priests for a good number of years.

[@maxcox8882]

For me, the crisis in the priesthood, is a sign of the times we are living in, and I believe we are living the Book of Revelation now. I was saying to my pastor this morning, that when we pray for vocations to the priesthood, in the same breath, we should be praying for the protection of the pre-born. Priestly vocations have declined because they never saw life outside of their mother's wombs. Have many vocations, priests were aborted?

[@RockerfellerRothchild1776]

Lol cope harder! This nonsense been going since day 1 of the church. What you think Martin Luther was talking about!? Smh

@RedRose-il8xj There are several other reasons for the priestly vocations crisis: (1) the clerical sex abuse scandal, and (2) the Novus Ordo Mass is not inspiring, and (3) the new Catholic theology incorrectly makes it appear that the Catholic Church and Sacraments not important. Catholics need to recognize there are other sins, besides abortion, and (4) lavender clergy are promoted, while holy priests are ignored or worse.

If you think the situation is dark now, here's who's coming: Cardinal Robert W. McElroy ( who has been elevated to the highest profile See in the world: Washington D.C. McElroy is nothing less than the most radical cardinal in America and he is being advanced and put into rotation for the Chair of St. Peter by the most radical Holy Father in history. Watch a confrontation at a bishops' conference between McElroy and Archbishop Chaput and the former Bishop of Tyler, TX, Joseph Strickland. The subject was declaring abortion the preeminent concern of our time. McElroy aggressively insisted this is not the case. He questions the Church's teachings on euthanasia, sex, marriage, abortion etc. He is the Pope's man and Fr. Martin's comrade in arms. McElroy is 70 years old. If you believe our immortal souls have never been more at risk for eternal damnation, then putting the face of McElroy in parishes across the world is equivalent to replacing it with a portrait of the Evil One himself. I remained stunned that Catholics believe the current pope is a "one-off" who can be "prayed" from his current reckless and determined course from which he shows no signs of turning back.

Viewing the crucifix image as "wholly depressing", the Church, led by Cardinal Glick (George Carlin), decides to retire it, and creates Buddy Christ as a more uplifting image of Jesus Christ.The icon consists of a statue of Jesus, smiling and winking while pointing at onlookers with one hand and giving the thumbs-up sign with the other hand.
