"...just under 2/3rds of parishes are staffed by third world priests...."

Oregon_Longhorn: It's an ad hoc pastoral invention to deal with clergy shortage, but not a long term remedy. Eventually bishops will have to deal with it. They can't keep poaching, provisionally detouring from the route Pope Francis suggests they take, irrespective of one of them being the first Conference to suffer "ignominy" and throw in the towel. 
Sadly, the current crop of US bishops are "victims" of this mess, not leaders who can take themselves -- and the faithful -- out of it. 
I thought by now the richest church within Western Catholicism (i.e., German Catholic Church) would have done something by now, moved ahead -- given all their resources to support a married diocesan clergy -- but they don't want to touch the problem either. Maybe the Brazilian church will break rank, "suffer" ignominy, as it were. Who knows! We'll see.
