“The only religious congregations showing signs of life and attracting many vocations are strongly faithful and evangelizing men’s congregations like the Franciscan Friars of the Renewal and the Legionaries of Christ. Similarly, among women, congregations that wear full habit and have a strong prayer and community life are drawing many vocations — the Nashville Dominicans and Mother Angelica’s Poor Clares being outstanding examples. The traditional Carmels also continue to attract a steady stream of young vocations.”
Leaner for awhile, but stronger?
The more orthodox the order (and Bishop I believe) the bigger the increase in vocations. God gets His message out in many ways, doesn’t He? We need to be faithful to His Church and its teachings.

Not a bad article.
Here is a vision I wrote about what the Church in the US need to do this century:

I hope the statistics on vocation in diocese with obedient/orthodox bishops are true. However, they might be misleading.
If I, for example, would have discerned a call to priesthood, I would have first moved to a diocese with a bishop I trusted to run a healthy seminary. Ain’t no way I would have gone to the seminary under the jurisdiction of archbishop Rembert Weakland of Milwaukee, which was my nominal home when I finished college. Had I made that choice, I probably would have gone somewhere like Nebraska and pumped up their numbers.
Does that make sense?
