Father Z has a good article on remarks Pope Benedict made. See Pope Benedict on priests - Fr. Z on worship . Benedict on the Vocation shortage said in part:
Looking to the future, the Pope made it clear that "the shortage of priests must not come to be considered as a normal or typical state of affairs."
Yet if you read the Catholic press and pay attention to certain movements they are very much invested in making this seem normal. That is because they have real radical agendas.
I might seem Mr Negative Opinionated Catholic over here with my posts but I do go out of my way to point that things are going gangbusters in parts of the Catholic United States.
For just a few examples see

Etc etc etc
Yet there is strange almost delibrate silience about this. Perhaps they fear that people might copy these example and thus their agenda will be sidetracked. It really is sinful.
