The emergence of girls and women on the altar is if not a conscious, then at least a subconscious effort to inculcate people to the notion of women priests.
You go to mass and see "altar girls", women readers, women bringing up the offering, and women passing out the Holy Body of Christ. So why must the only role exculsively male be the Priest?

I had wondered about that myself...(the effort to make this the norm, that is)
