False, at least according to the law.
The law? You can't be serious.
In any event, the portion of law you quoted doesn't say anything about a prohibition on girl servers at the indult. Seems to me if a priest granted a girl's request to serve at an indult, the congregation would just have to accept it.
Look, I didn't present my last post as fact. I said I'd "heard" that priests must honor the request.

I'm just saying that you've heard wrong. "if the indult is in a diocese whose bishop permits altar girls at the NO parishes, and a girl requests to serve at the indult, she must be permitted to do so" - a priest is not obligated to allow any girl servers, even if the bishop permits them. The congregation is a different issue; obviously they cannot order around their pastors.
