Yes guys, it has been felt not only in Italy and Ireland but also in the Philippines; vocation for priesthood is slowly deteriorating and that most of the people who would enter the seminary are already late vocationists (those who a degreee) unlike before wherein a huge number of high school graduates and elementary would enter the seminary. When I entered a certain religious seminary, we were all in all 35 but now after 1 year, and now we are already 15. Please pray for more vocation in the Philippines and continue believing in priests despite their mistakes. I've overheard that Vietnam and Indonesia's Catholics have more vocation than we Filipinos according to a ratio basis.What could be the reason why is this happening right now? All I know is that the affect of today's influx of western culture and the allegations against the pope. Mga istoryans, nagno kaha ni?
