Of course; that’s common knowledge for anyone who has taken a course in critical thinking. However, I’m a firm believer in following the evidence, and thus far it indicates that something within conservative dioceses is convincing more men to become priests. Personally, I don’t need a causal link to form preliminary conclusions. I’ll await evidence to the contrary, however, it seems to be lacking at this point.Let’s keep in mind that correlation does not prove causation. Just because dioceses that are more conservative ordain more men to the priesthood, it does not necessarily follow that the two have a causal relationship. :twocents:
