Vocations Crisis?

[Marc_Anthony]

Maybe. Maybe not. It is still pointless to speculate on the will of God.

The response of the Church would be the same in any case: to try to encourage vocations to the clergy. If the smaller clergy is in fact the will of God, such efforts would fail, but we simply can’t know in advance.

However, it seems simplistic to say “Maybe God just wants a smaller clergy” at the exact same time that the general society is heading down the moral drain.

This seems like a good answer.

Vocation shortage? YES! Think about how few of our young people are commiting to the Sacrament of Holy Matrimony, let alone a calling to religious life. Vocations of all types are being ignored. People ask the insane question of a 9 year old: What do you want to BE when you grow up? The whole idea that God calls each of us to use the gifts that we have been given seems to be absent. Pray for our families, pray for our children.
