[size=2]Pope pushes new priests to grow the faith[/size]

VATICAN CITY – Pope Benedict XVI ordained 21 new priests for Rome on Sunday, but with the number of recruits for the clergy falling in Western Europe, many of the men he ordained in St. Peter’s Basilica came from Latin America and Africa...

... while Italians are predominantly Roman Catholic, many of them worship in churches where Sunday Mass is celebrated by Asian, African or Latin American priests.

... Catholicism is growing in Africa, and priests from Nigeria, Angola and Kenya were ordained Sunday.

The rest of the new priests were from Uruguay, Costa Rica, Bolivia and Peru.
