A 1985 survey of American Catholic priests replicated a 1970 survey and permitted tests of earlier projections made by Schoenherr and Sorensen regarding the future of the Catholic priesthood. We found that the age distribution shifted toward older ages, as projected, but not quite as drastically as...

520 |a A 1985 survey of American Catholic priests replicated a 1970 survey and permitted tests of earlier projections made by Schoenherr and Sorensen regarding the future of the Catholic priesthood. We found that the age distribution shifted toward older ages, as projected, but not quite as drastically as expected. Contrary to the projection, theological attitudes did not shift in the conservative direction; they became more modern, especially regarding faith and authority. The erroneous assumption in the Schoenherr-Sorensen projection was apparently that priests would turn conservative as they got older; this has not happened to any important degree. Also the youngest priests in 1985 were more conservative than their age-counterparts in 1970, and the overall level of morale rose from 1970 to 1985.
