France: 20 percent of new priestly ordinations are in Trad Groups

The handwriting is on the wall. It may take a while, and the Gay-old Vatican II Church will drag its feet, (knees?) kicking and screaming all the way to utter irrelevance. But "the steady drop wears the rock." That's especially true as more and more Vat2 hotshots like "Uncle Teddy" McCarrick are drug out of the closet.

True, 20 percent is small in the overall scheme of things. But the "voting with their feet" momentum is on the side of Tradition, A, and B, there's no sign that the lame-brained Vat2 Church "gets it" about homosexuality. (McCarrick, again.) Just a minor (or not so minor) point, too, is money, as in contributions. The Vatican would have been insolvent and sold off at Helsinki fire-sale prices some time ago were it not for the fabulously wealthy German Church funding it, and the fabulously wealthy German Church is only fabulously wealthy because of that outrageous and unjust Church Tax Germany has. 

In a real sense, the Vat2 Church outside of Germany is broke, economically and spiritually. Yes, yes, of course, there are always exceptions, here and there; but I wish I had a good old U.S. dollar for every article I've seen in the past two years predicting a massive fall-off of Catholic Church attendance that's coming, and parish (and even dioceses) closing. The Vat 2 Church is a house of cards. If the American Catholic Church didn't get a bunch of money from the Federalis for bringing in tens of thousands of poor, illegal immigrants, it, too, would be openly, in-your-face bankrupt. See:

Catholic Bishops’ Support For Open Borders Hides Self-Serving Politics

The U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops recently rewrote a quadrennial advisory for Catholic voters. The timing appears geared toward influencing the 2018 midterms.

As reported today by the Catholic Herald U.K. (from a La Croix article), French ordinations in 2018 paint a very clear picture as to where vocations are booming, and where they are a bust. Not surprisingly the trend is consistent with what we’ve seen elsewhere. Tradition (authenticity) is literally the future of the Church.
According to the Herald, 20 percent of the 114 men ordained to the priesthood in France this year belong to traditional or classical orders or societies. One out of five. These include three ordinations for the Institute of the Good Shepherd, two for the Priestly Fraternity of St Peter (FSSP) and two for the Institute of Christ the King.
Compare this with the diocesan parishes, firmly grounded in the Novus Ordo Mass and post-conciliarism, where approximately 60% of the country’s 96 dioceses have zero ordinations this year. Zero. In 58 French dioceses. Zero.

PS: I also came across a great Comment in an article on the Trad Mass here:
Comment:
It may interest you all to know that the third spiritual work of mercy has now been revised and updated.
We no longer "admonish the sinner". We now "accompany the sinner".
Thank you for your attention you "rigid", "self absorbed, Promethean neo-Pelagians".
