Rather then toss out the "dignity" card, why not address the issue of why Protestants numbers are dropping more then Catholics, & even married men/women Pastors are not helping. 

Have you considered that may not be the answer.

Nor is it a perverse "numbers game". as you your self use "droves" instead of "numbers". Or is it perverse because you just don't like the "numbers", & would like to dismiss them.

At the same time, increasing priestly ordinations & seminarians are happening.  Why is that?
