Vocational Shortage

Not just Belgium, but the school from where Constant Lievens
the famous Flemish Jesuit priest, who has the credit of establishing the roots of Christianity among tribals in India, is now looking for priests. Minor school of Roeselare in Belgium, where the legendary missionary got his initial education,
is left with one priest and the school no longer deals in theology.

Are your surprised? The Church in Holland and Belgium is on its knees, after following absurd policies since Vatican II. As for the Jesuits in these countries,they are facing extinction. Both were formerly among the strongest and most observant Catholic countries in Europe.

How about importing seminarians from India? I'll bet the church has more seminarians there than Belgium

" As the priestood goes, so goes the Church"--John Hardon SJ
I am certain the Fr. Hardon would not be surprised...

I am not surprised. Maybe if the Jesuits would defend the Church and its teachings in its hour of need it would be blessed with vocations. I do not see the Jesuits doing this. For example, see this video about the Jesuits:

Are these Jesuits upholding and defending Church Teaching.....( NOT!)
This is exactly what I have come to expect of Jesuits these days...... Reap what you sow.
