There's probably less interest now that they're sorta cracking down on the child molestation.

The Anglican Church opened the doors to woman clergy which partially solved the shortage.

The Catholic Church moves as fast as a turtle in an Alaskan January.

The Catholic church has a reputation problem, I think many religious Catholics that in the past proudly would choose the cloth now doesn't because the pedophile problem. The other problem is that there are not that many young devote Catholics, many who identify as Catholcis, but not many that are so religious they want to be Priests.

in Germany the Catholic Church imports priests from India and Africa
