Just trying to be logical here.

An admirable goal.

What do you think the church's priorities should be?

Restoring orthodoxy and orthopraxy to the Church.

Straightening out the legal mess or stifling members of the flock?

Anyone who believes that banning altar girls is "stifling" was never a member of the flock to begin with.

Altar girls began as a deliberate act of disobedience.

Very tidy. What about the scandal? That's what I started out discussing. Restoring orthodoxy, if that is the goal, should begin with the clergy. Why is using altar girls an act of disobediance? Disobediant how?
