Shall Not Prevail Against It

Hugh Hewitt has a long post from Fr. Peter Mitchell of Nebraska, who is in Rome. Unlike John Derbyshire (cap tip: Instapundit), I do not consider the Church in decline, and for those who take the lack of growth in the number of priests during the last quarter-century as evidence that the Church's days are numbered, I point to Fr. Mitchell, the priests of Catholic Ragemonkey, and others of their generation who have a mustard seed (cap tip: Curt Jester) and aren't afraid to use it.
