I found it interesting that a man was the one so insistent in discussing this, and he brought it up in a room with women that were nuns, catechists, RCIA instructors, lay Franciscans, lectors, eucharistic ministers, retreat leaders, case sponsors for the tribunal, an officer of the National Catholic Council of women...you know...a bunch of women not serving the Church or doing anything important.

Lol!! That truly is amusing. Reality is staring him in the face and he can't see it. Just curious but do you know if his daughters once served as acolytes?

I don’t know. My daughter just started altar serving at our parish though and she loves it. And as a matter of record, she feels in no way slighted that being a priest is not in her future. She understands that the priest acts in persona Christi, and she finds the notion of a woman “playing the part” of Jesus ridiculous. She sees it as the equivalent of casting a man in a woman’s role in a movie. She doesn’t worry about women not being priests any more than she worries about a boy playing the Virgin Mary in a live nativity. LOL!
