The letter will probably help promote the Mass, but still it lacks teeth. I suspect we'll get another one in four more years saying, "I really mean it this time. Really."
From your link. You really have to wonder about the motivations of the clergy who would dream up such a poisoned concoction.
I see the allowance for “girl” altar boys as a Marxist push to destroy the Catholic Church from within—(Postmodern German Philosophy). It is the fundamental idea that there is no difference between male and female (underlying Marxist lie and ideology to eliminate marriage and destroy the Natural family—it is what makes homosexual marriage possible (and a joke). ).
To pretend there is no difference is to defy God’s design of man and woman—the very foundation of Biblical Truth.
To condition little girls and boys into thinking there is no difference in their biology or “roles” as designed by God, is to undermine the Church in the eyes of those who will become the future of the Church and determine its direction. Marxists want to destroy the Church from within...that is why they have destroyed so much of the tradition of the Church (crucial to destroying knowledge and understanding and meaning).
Catholic Church has got to return to its roots and traditions in all its glory and quite living this communist”flux” view of human nature.
If you had taken the trouble to read the letter and commentary on it, you would not have unnecessarily stirred up people over this point.
The instruction makes altar girls impossible in the Extraordinary form. So stop it with the scandal-mongering. The Cambridge scandal is just that—a scandal, nipped in the bud by this instruction.
The instruction clarifies that practices permitted by post-1962 legislation are not permitted in the 1962 rite. So, communion in the hand is not permitted at the Extraordinary Form. Altar girls are not permitted in the EF.
