@Sweetness307

Can you explain what you mean about "sexism in the world"?

There are 2 sex"s Male and Female....Why do you think God created 2 sexes? So they could both in the same way, ... act, speak, look, walk, dress, pee, work, and both have babies?

Its not that I'm disturb Im just sick of people getting angry over nothing !!! And Im tired of all the sexism in the world !!! I sick hearing girls can't do this or girls can't do that!!!

Sweetness307 I am all for girls serving the Church but not at the alter. It is for men only. The Mother of God never served at the alter. Yes she held Christ but after Christ died she became hidden. It was the men that were the priest and bishops. Before Vatican 2 only boys were allowed because they understood this fostered vocations to the priesthood. Its not about equality but fostering priestly vocations. girls can do other things.

Sweetness307..you sound very disturbed.

What is the big deal with a girl wanted to serve God. I undestand that we can't be priest but let us serve God in some way. I don't understand why everyone get so up tight with altar girls. I'm starting to see a lot of sexism in the church and I really don't like it. How come in other Christian churches women are able to serve God in may ways but with The Roman Catholic church its few . It seems very unfair.Just because of my gender I can't serve God the way I want. I mean wasn't Mary the first … [More]

I completely disagree with this article! Stop trying to shove equality onto us. Did Christ have any woman disciples ordained? Is their any Man Nuns! Sounds stupid right....? Alter boys serve at the alter to inspire them to be priests! Shouldn't a girl be talking to a nun if she is interested in service to the church. I can't stand this political correctness stuff.

Good analysis and another solid post (there are a couple of other good posters also) especially compared to the personal (implied or direct) attacks posted by the girly-men at this site. Yours is the kind of post that will attract other intelligent Catholics who have something of substance to say on a particular topic and not the mickey mouse garbage that we so often witness.

I will attempt to translate a few things, for those who do not understand the "code" words in the vocabulary of "America" magazine. Just keep in mind that America magazine is consistently in favor of contraception, homosexual lifestyles, and women clergy.

These moves to limit laywomen’s access to the altar threaten to drag the church back into the pre-Vatican II world. One wonders if next the altar rail will return, another barrier between the priests and the people.

"...drag the church back into the pre-Vatican II world." That would be a good thing. The primary role of the Church is for the sanctification of her clergy and the salvation of souls, not advancement of "social justice." I am tired of these Modernists in the Church who arrogantly … [More]

Remembered acquiring this some time back, but is just as pertinent now as when it was written.

Oh please....Is it discrimination that women bear children and men cannot? Is it discrimination that men are physically the stronger gender? Is it discrimination that women are naturally better housekeepers than men? Is it discrimination that men are anatomically different to women?

Each gender has its function and role in life - created and ordained by the Creator Himself. Why are we (especially the Americans!) trying to upset this natural order - even in the Christian Church!? Disgusting … [More]
