The other night I was reading through responses to a questions over at Catholic.com
“Will alter girls lead to women priests?”
While I’m sure many in my own parish will disagree with my sentiment on whether or not we should have alter girls I hope they don’t think it will lead to women priests and that there is some eventual progression that will allow it. Below is my response to the question.
Alter Girls won’t lead to Women Priests. The term Woman Priest is an oxymoron. Women can’t be priests no more than men can have babies. God didn’t set it up that way. And sense Alter Girls won’t lead to Women Priests I don’t think we should have them. Leave it to the boys please.
If we let boys wear nursing bra’s or maternity clothes we’d all say that’s ridiculous because boys can’t have babies, its not how they were made. Yet we let girls be alter servers when they can’t be priests and say there’s nothing wrong with that. Catholics have gone astray in our thinking. God put us here for a specific purpose and we are fooling ourselves if we allow our boys and girls to participate in roles they weren’t meant for, and we do them great disservice when we do.
