Do you doubt that the motivation for the presence of girl altar boys is to confuse the doctrine of a male priesthood?

Maybe in some priests' minds, and some peoples' minds, but not in the minds of the vast majority. They just see it as an opportunity to allow females to play a part in the liturgy.

I think it's silly to argue about altar girls, from either side.

And, it's rather sad to see a Mass with no servers at all, don't you think?

Maybe they should focus more on why we are there at Mass. As far as I know, it's not so we can feel good about ourselves for participating in the liturgy. We have entirely too many "lay ministers" as it is.

Sinky,

FWIW, I'd rather see no altar servers as opposed to having the girls dominate the liturgy. (sad to have none, true)

JMHO though! :)

I agree with you however, there are greater battles than to get into a "debate" about altar girls.
