Clearly the product of lack of information as your a bit off the mark. The claim of trouble recruiting priests was deliberate misinformation. The truth of the matter is that the church has never had any problems recruiting priests. I knew a young man nearly twenty years ago who upon discovering I was also Catholic and getting to learn I was sincere my my faith shared with me that he had withdrawn from a seminary due to the rampancy of homosexual grooming. When I looked into the matter, I found he was indeed telling the truth and I then understood that the challenge was and has always been occurring in seminary retention and graduation. The issue is that currently homosexual grooming, and pederasty, is so rampant in western seminaries and parishes, that when they encounter honestly celibate and faithful men the homosexuals and counter culturalists do everything possible to drive them out. Now while there have always been homosexuals exploiting the church and the laity, it has never been anywhere near this severe. I'd later come to discover that what occurred was that during the late 19nth-early 20th century while western nations were still developing an understanding of human psychology, the soviets and their enablers had thoroughly infiltrated every institution, organization, and community that they could with the goal of subverting and destroying western nations from within. They trained men to enter into the seminaries and find potential allies, in this the soviet infiltrators protected homosexuals in the seminaries and parishes. As those homosexuals advanced, they in kind protected others who were either malformed Christians and homosexuals alike and the process continued.
