Post-Catholic Ireland: One (!) seminarian in Dublin archdiocese

Only one person is studying to become a Catholic priest in Dublin, reports TheTimes.com (August 4).

Father Séamus McEntee, vocations director for the Dublin archdiocese, said the low number of applicants to the priesthood was indicative of a wider crisis of faith.

The Archdiocese of Dublin has more than one million Catholics (out of a total population of 1.6 million). Ireland was once one of the most Catholic countries in the world.

The "Island of Saints" was the nickname for Ireland. Irish priests & religious evangelized the world. To be Irish WAS to be Catholic. "How the mighty have fallen!" Lord have mercy! 🙏

Yes, utter darkness fell upon the archdiocese of Dublin. Some may wonder why but very few will recall the condemnation of Book of Truth by the very archbishop of Dublin ten years ago…
