[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think this is a game changer.  My DH and I grew up Catholic.  I no longer consider myself Catholic. My DH and went into the marriage with our eyes open.  We talked extensively about it and it was a deliberate decision not to marry in the Catholic Church.  If he decided to return to the Catholic Church, we'd have to do some seriously counseling.  It's not 'church' I have an issue with, it's the Catholic Church.  I'd need to undestand why he needed Catholicism and how both of our needs could be met.

I would not allow him to take our children.  I understand other people are okay with it but I would never allow my kids to be in an environment where discrimination against women and girls is supported. The church allows the prohibition of altar girls and that alone would be enough for me. My DDs are just as worthy as my DSs. [/quote]

Wow, I was an altar girl in the early 90s and I was not even the first of which in my church. You sound just as mistaken as the guy who told me being an altar server is training for priesthood and only people seriously considering it should be eligible for the position. Guess that means the married father of five who trained me shouldn't have volunteered his time when the parish expressed its need?[/quote]

Do you really not know that some parishes do not allow altar girls?  Both the Washington Post and CNN have reported on it.  If you didn't check out the links provided by a PP, did you not even think to do your own research?  Do a little research.  It's all out there.  That your experience was different speaks to the preferences or your priest. Your friend was correct that even if a priest allows altar girls (which they don't have to) preference should be given to boys because "this has led to a reassuring development of priestly vocations."

So, what?  Well, women can pursue non-priestly vocations.  [/quote]
