Irishcoffeekid, so where are all these people who are praying? Around 20% of the Irish population attend church, the vast majority of which are elderly. Dya reckon these elderly ladies are gonna sign up?

I wonder is there any research that shows the number of vocations rise when the job market is down. Seems to me that people are doing so much praying right now to get a job, some of them might find their prayers answered through vocations! Remains to be seen how many people will genuinely consider it because of a "calling" - question is who's calling now - escaping to an enclosed order might be a great way to get away from listening to the fodder the government are chucking out right now!
