[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Really, you're not up to speed on the church. Many, many parishes have female altar servers.[/quote]

I'm sure many do.  But do all of them allow female altar servers?  What is the Church's position on those that do not allow them?  Does it support the priest's decision to discriminate against girls?

I don't know how anyone can defend that kind of discrimination.[/quote]

I agree.  After a full school week of learning how women are strong, brave, smart and all around better than useless boys, [b]this will scar the girls for life [/b][/quote]

I'm sorry, but this is ridiculous.  I was born and raised Catholic and went to Catholic school for 12 years at a time when only boys could be alter servers.  I was not "scarred for life."  I grew up being told by my parents, teachers, nuns, and priests that I was smart, brave, and competent.  I now have a wonderful family and successful career, despite the fact that I wasn't able to be an altar server.

There are plenty of things that boys do that girls do not (and, as others have mentioned, plenty of girls are altar servers now).  Is every girl who can't play high school football going to be "scarred for life"?  I don't think so.  [/quote]
