Given that most who are called to vocations were Traditional Latin Mass attendees rather than Norvus Ordo attendees, perhaps the solution might be to expand TLM offerings. Too bad this current pope hates the Traditional Latin Mass.

completely agree here jutaw-there are so many young men who...gasp...long for the traditional. it doesn't mean they want to return saying masses in Latin, but there remains certain key things they would like to retain and maintain. exactly which ones, you'd have to ask them.
for further incite into the implosion of the Catholic priests implosion, check out the book, "good bye good men" it tells the story of how many good men could not advance within the seminary's ranks thus move on within the education system toward priesthood if they didn't "go along" with the new status quo which included some very nefarious activities. milwaukee's(st Francis de sales) and Hales corner's (sacred heart) seminaries are referenced often
