Vocations, Locations and Donations
A recent video was sent by the Catholic Church, to lure and entice youth towards it's declinig and dwindling numbers to priesthood.

The video was nothing short of a advertisement with priests very well attired like corporate honchos and speaking fluent impecabble English. All claiming of a calling from.God to the vocation of priesthood. Some of them with long hair. Was it to impersonate and model like Jesus, how he allegedly looked like. They were so well attired and groomed, that they could make good models for hair products or clothing attire, and less a model of Christ.
Are not other professions a calling from God? What is so great or better or more noble in priesthood? The Armed Forces of a country is the real calling. A calling to protect the country. Very well knowing that they could die on line of duty. So are all professionals where the individuals have given up everything to follow the calling of nobility in serving humanity. Like highly educated Doctors or Lawyers who help the poorest of poor.
So is priesthood a profession where an individual decides to help the marginalized, the sick, the homeless, the mentally and emotionally broken. Then what is happening? Corruption in the Catholic Church can make a healthy feel completely sick. Rapes, sodomy, financial frauds, land scams, name any crime that the clergy is not involved in? Sometimes it is like as if the Church inspires criminals to join priesthood or grooms priests to be criminals. The Church is even trying to protect and validate the sacramental spiritual acts of these inhuman clergy, claiming that the sacraments given are not void as it is ultimately Jesus intervening through them. It's like Judas attempting to preach and administer Communion after betraying Christ for 30 pieces of silver.

Where is the vocation or calling of God to the clergy to raise their voices towards these cruel, inhuman perpetrators of crime? How many crimes has the Church brought to light a crime of a clergy before the hand of law, exposed these criminals. Did the voice of God silence the voices of these clergy in power? Did God not call out to them to intervene and help when HIS people were praying and crying for help? Or is it only a hymn that the clergy wants the laity to sing, "God listen to your people praying." And they prey on these same people who pray.
Do a simple analysis of from where are the numbers of Priests or Nuns coming today. Most from rural places, some to escape poverty. How many lawyers, Doctors, Engineers become priests? Catholic priests are not allowed to marry. Then the Anglican clergy who come to the Roman Catholic fold are married. So are Roman Catholics priests of Eastern regions of the world married. Why this discrimination. It was a Pope who struck down marriage for priesthood, when there were sexually active and even married Popes.
Vocations (in the true sense of the calling from God) in priesthood are priests like Fr. Stan Swamy who was martyred by the legal system of the country, for doing what Christ did. The irony is priests and Nuns from India are sent abroad. Most of them discriminated and many cases of Nuns made to do menial jobs. Over Two Thousand years and not a single Indian Pope. Indian Roman Catholic Church should cut ties of its colonial rule from Rome. As it anyways serves no purpose. Indian Roman Catholics (more the clergy) are so obsessed with a foreign country name associated with their religious faith. A stamp of forced colonisation religion. No religion is associated with a country HQ name. Do Muslims call themselves Saudi Muslims, or Hindus as Indian Hindus or Zoarastrians as Irani Zorastrians.
If there is a shortage of vocations why are Priests and Nuns exported to foreign lands? Why are collections from India sent to foreign missions. Like the Bible preached, so should the accounts of money collected be reached to every laity. Let there be transperancy on collections.
Stop luring youth only into priesthood, but encourage also them to professions which will help the laity through Churches. Let their talents be the tithe given. Ten percent of their time given to help and not ten percent of money demanded citing the Bible with wrong interpretation. Today Catholic schools and hospitals have become a den of thieves. Even Fr. Stan Swamy said what good are our educational Institutes if the poor cannot access it.
How many Indian origin clergy have a congregation that they have made and is worldwide? How long will Indian Roman Catholic Church be under white colonial regime? Why is the Roman Catholic Church not able to groom clergy leaders? When will we see an Indian Pope? Will the Vatican be only fishers of Indians clergy to be their slaves? Why is Fr. Agnel not yet cannonised or his congregation not supported by the Vatican to expand globally?
So let the Church not be just luring youth into vocation of religious lives but ensuring none of them are sent to foreign locations and be transperant on donations
