Side-by-Side

Comparing vocational gravity between two diocese. One, you'll likely guess quickly, as for the other, that may be fairly obvious as well.

Diocese A	Diocese B
Catholic Population: 4,349,267	Catholic Population: 89,412
Seminarians from the Diocese: 50 Seminarians from Other Dioceses: 85 Diocesan Students in Other Seminaries: 18	Seminarians from the Diocese: 28 Seminarians from Other Dioceses: 7 Diocesan Students in Other Seminaries: 15
Local Seminarian to Catholic Ratio: 1 : 63,959	Local Seminarian to Catholic Ratio: 1 : 2,079

So, does this mean that a catholic in Diocese B is 30 times more likely to find a vocation to the priesthood or diaconate? To quote Bugs Bunny, "Ehhh, Could be."
