Vocations crisis...maybe not so much!

For example, if I visited and walked around a city with 80 nuns/priests/brothers residing there, but I never saw anyone wearing their clericals/habits, I wouldn't be the only one to think that their were no consecrated in the town.

I think you make a good point.

I think that the removal of the habit in American Women's religious orders was very destructive. Because, when young women in the past twenty years felt a vague feeling of vocation, they wouldn't have found a nun to talk with. It kind of led, i believe stagnate the crisis.
