I don’t believe Latin should be outlawed and I have no problem with the Latin Mass. But I also have no problem with Mass said in English. The Bible does not prohibit Mass from being said in any particular language.

Likewise I have no problem with celibate priests, but I also have no problem with married priests either. The Bible does not prohibit priests from being married, to the contrary is promotes a married clergy and priests were expected to be married in the Bible.

Finally I have no problem with people who receive Holy Communion on the tongue, but it is not prohibited to receive it in the hand either. Nothing in the Bible prohibits you from receiving Holy Communion in your hand.

I do not like it when some Catholics say you’re not Catholic enough because you don’t do things exactly the way they do.

In addition, I have not been able to find anything in the Bible which prohibits females from serving as altar girls, lay readers, Eucharistic Ministers or in other supporting roles in the Mass. NOTHING.

It is metaphysically impossible for a woman to be a “Eucharistic Minister.”

Words mean things, and “Eucharist Minister” is reserved to men who have received Holy Orders.

What you are thinking of is “Extraordinary Minister of the Eucharist.”

You seem to think the Bible is the last word on everything. That is a mistake.

I marvel that you consider yourself qualified to have an opinion about these matters. I’m sure you would be shocked to be told your views are protestant.
