Precisely. Satan's master stroke; sissify altar service in a seven year old boy's mind and he will grow up with the perception of the priesthood and the sacrifice of the Altar as something for sissies.
I had the misfortune to grow up in a parish were altar girls were well and truly entrenched when I was of age to begin serving at the altar (circa 1982.)
Had it not been for altar girls, I might have been an altar boy. I couldn't have articulated my feelings more coherently than 'cooties', but even then, I knew something was wrong about altar girls.
I regret little about my childhood, but to this day I regret not having served on the altar.
