France: Number of Ordinations at A Low
Meanwhile, Francis has blocked priestly ordinations in the flourishing Fréjus-Toulon Diocese already for the second year running. The Novus Ordo Community of Saint Martin is also down to seven new priests, compared with 14 in 2022 and 26 in 2021.
The same decline can be seen throughout the world, including Poland.
Five of the 88 belong to the Fraternity of Saint Peter, compared to 6 ordinations in 2022 and 3 in 2021.
