I'm quite delighted with this turn of events. <BR/><BR/>I wasn't thrilled with the altar girls but in this diocese you gotta take what you can get.Dymphnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01469622835449220113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3589378.post-1143128042606940622006-03-23T10:34:00.000-05:002006-03-23T10:34:00.000-05:00Very interesting conclusion- so it's good news the...Very interesting conclusion- so it's good news then all around!

Loverde may have unwittingly dealt a double blow to "mainstream" Catholicism in his diocese and given a double boost to Traditonalistm by these two acts.<BR/><BR/>The indult allows for a trad community. The altar girls means that possibly more people will go to the indult Mass than would have if things stayed more conservative in the "mainstream" side. This could snowball as orthodox young men opt to go to the F.S.S.P. or I.C.R. (or even the dreaded S.S.P.X) rather than the diocesan seminary.Nicholas D.C.

As a member of the Arlington Diocese, I am so disappointed. This is a real blow to the dynamic altar server program that is alive and well in the diocese. More details on that <A HREF="http://www.writingup.com/catholic_mom/arlington_bishop_caves_in_to_political_correctness" REL="nofollow">here</A>. There is no enhancement of the Church by the inclusion of girl altar servers and there is a true cost in the decreased participation by boys when girls are included. From these boys come our priests! In my opinion, any parent who pushes for his/her daughter to be an altar server does so to the detriment of the Church. This parent should be ashamed.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
