Only boys and acolytes, according to church law, should serve Mass. Please check into it.

From Wikipedia.: Pope Benedict XVI has used female altar servers in Papal masses in London (2010), Berlin and Freiburg (2011). Today only one Roman Catholic diocese in America, the diocese of Lincoln, Nebraska does not permit female altar servers

Yes ... but not by choice! These 'novelties' have infiltrated the post VCII Novus Ordo liturgy by progressivist bishops and priests. If you have occasion to watch a Vatican Mass, you will not see women serving at the altar .. ever!

If you want to believe leftist wiki, OK. But obviously, you didn’t check church law, canon law.

Men only are to be in the sanctuary. It’s to foster vocations to the priesthood. Sorry, if that offends you.

AND don’t believe leftist wiki!!!!!!
