With the ordinations around the feast of Peter and Paul, the Society of Pius X counts 707 members.
Six were ordained in the US, eight in Switzerland, and three in Germany (Fsspx.News, July 7). Presently there are also twelve PiusX deacons.
Following the Jesuits (14,500), Franciscans (8,500), Benedictines (3,400), and Augustinians (1,800), PiusX is the fifth largest religious congregation, but unlike the other congregations it is not overaged.
Other Roman Rite communities are the Fraternity of St. Peter (341), Institute of Christ the King (80), and the Institute of the Good Shepherd (about 50).

As an aside from by longer comemnt, Jesuits usually go down between 220-350 members a year. Hopefully that is on the rise and hopefully they have no vocations. All the other Orders in the listing usually go down between 25-100 every year. Afew, like the Order of Saint Paul the First Hermit, Fraternity of Saint Peter, Institute of Christ the King Sovereign Priest, actually have been making gains …More

Afew, like the Order of Saint Paul the First Hermit, Fraternity of Saint Peter, Institute of Christ the King Sovereign Priest, actually have been making gains consistantly of between 15-30 per year. Some Orders lesser known are fairly constant with 5-10 losses or gains each year.

Always good to have a referrence book close at hand. Although this volumn of the Annuario Pontificio is for 2022, thse totals I give are actually for how each Order stood at the end of 2020, so figure in they have declined either marginally, or alot, since 2020:
Norbertines:1, 127 total (853 priests)
Benedictines: 6,667 (3,297 priests)
Cistercians: 1,600 (657 priests)
Trappists: 1,764 (590 priests) …More

Without question, Pope Francis is destroying the Catholic Faith and Church, and Bishop Strickland should have the courage to side with the right people, and not equivicate that he isn't condemning Ppoe Francis. But very many hundreds of thousands, and maybe mmany millions, of faithful Catholics are. I would call him a heretic to his face, he and his swarm of homosexual confidants and advisors.

Opus Dei is not an “order” per se but they have more priests than 1000, perhaps closer to 2k.
