as soon as I read this, it reminded me that there is also a priest shortage. There could be a co-relation.
I read something about that too. To be fair, it's a pretty hard thing to sell. Plus, there's that stigma if you want to quit. I've always thought the celibacy thing for priests and nuns was odd, as you'd think that priests and/or nuns would raise the most devout Catholics.

That goes against the "preacher's kid" stereotype in Protestant Christianity. That said, I've known preacher's children on both sides of the stereotype.
