Uh...I think your stats are way wrong. The Wikipedia page on "Priesthood (Roman Catholic)" states there are 500,000 priests serving worldwide, not 43,000. Your data give a ration of 1 priest for every 24,100 Catholics or so, which can't possibly be right.
As my picture suggests, I was made in the womb. After residing approximately 9 months there, I noticed that my domicile was shrinking, and if I didn't act quick I was going to be without room. So out I went, and for 31 years I resided in South Louisiana with shorts stays in North Carolina, West Virginia, and one extended stay in Delaware.
I did my Undergrad at Louisiana State University in General Studies, which means I can speak about most things generally or about general things in an knowledgeable manner. I am also a founding Memeber of the LSU-Parousians. I completed my MA in theology from the University of Notre Dame by means of the ECHO program.

Since I'm in the seminary, that makes me Tartar sauce?
You add flavor to the sandwich.
So the rest of us are prefab fried fish?
I think I'm okay with that.

Irenaeus,
I thought something was fishy about that statistic, considering there are roughly 30,000 Jesuits alone.
Or maybe the advertisement is not coming out until 2010 and they did some future projections on the present data?
