Fewer Priests
The "Center for Applied Research in the Apostolate at Georgetown University" has reported that the number of diocesan priests in the USA in 2000 was 30,607.
This is down 15% from the number of priests in the USA in 1965, and let us pray this trend will continue in order for Catholics to see that they don't need a Roman priest. It's rather sad that people can belong to a religion with a "priest shortage."
Bible believing Christians will never have such a problem, for our God has ensured that we will never have a priest shortage as Jesus Christ is our high priest, and He lives FOREVER to make intercession for us.
