You persist in an old and worn-out argument that remains one-sided and ignoring of further study.  I'll give o some data from a petty exhaustive study done for my hometown diocese, Cleveland Ohio, that was concluded in October of 2015 and was done by CARA.  It predicts that the number of active diocesan priests will decline from then-current 264 (which was down 26% from 2000) to 156 by 2030 and 145 by 2045.  Those stats may be optimistic in that it assumes four or five new ordinations per year.  This year, Cleveland will ordain three new priests, in a recent year there was one new priest ordained.  One.  Meanwhile, a quarter of current active priests are over 75.  the diocese has closed 50 parishes since 2009, and he list goes on and on.  Pontificating my dear JBob?  I deal in facts.  So tell us, just which parish is it that is flourishing with all those vocations?  If you consider a "growth" rate of 9% to be good while ignoring the rest, then you don't need to worry at all.  How easy.
