Interesting thought


I can muster some agreement for his position.

Spanish bishop: Lack of radical dedication amongst religious explains vocations crisis

The groups that seem to be successful are newer orders that require a really radical decision to serve the poor, feed the hungry, etc. in strict obedience to the Church and their order, and not necessarily 'do what feels good to them'. The older orders seem to be having vocation trouble, while the newer ones have relatively high numbers of vocations. The decision to serve Christ in His people, while strictly living one's vows, has always been a radical decision...
