More than 3000 men and women religious leave the consecrated life each year, according to the secretary of the Congregation for Institutes of Consecrated Life and Societies of Apostolic Life.
Archbishop José Rodríguez Carballo said that the majority of cases occur at a “relatively young age”.
The causes, he said, include “absence of spiritual life”, “loss of a sense of community”, and a “loss of sense of belonging to the Church” — a loss manifest in dissent from Catholic teaching on “women priests and sexual morality”.
