Dear Pyro7480,

“There wouldn't be any need for female altar servers and female eucharistic ministers if the Church in Western countries hadn't caved to the zeitgeist of the 1960s!”

There is one church near me that doesn't permit female altar servers. It is clearly the most “conservative” local parish we hav nearby. It is the parish that produces more vocations to the priesthood than all the others near me put together.

My parish is also quite “orthodox” with the younger priests being even more so. Daily confession, ad orientem Masses, chant, etc.

If people want a blueprint for female ordination, they can always look to the Episcopal church and how well that’s fairing.
