If a woman is sooooo wedded to the standards of the world that equality (or what passes for equality) or ANYTHING else is more important that the Mass, the sacraments and the truth, then she has already apostasized and should recognize her apostasy by leaving until she conforms to the will of Christ as expressed through His Church. Equality lies in the fact that the same exact standard applies to men as well if any of them find ANYTHING more impotant than the Mass, the sacraments and the truth of the Church as described above.

Do not entertain yourself by supposing that fear has anything to do with it or ignorance (??????) or "overblown importance."

You last paragraph is a stew of paradoxes.

As is your first sentence, BlackElk. Let's take a look at it: If a woman is sooooo wedded to the standards of the world that equality (or what passes for equality) or ANYTHING else is more important that the Mass, the sacraments and the truth, then she has already apostasized ...

Well, if a person is soooo wedded to the man-made-and-oft-edited standards of the Church that seeing Altar Girls instead of Altar Boys is more important than the Mass, Sacraments, and Truth, than the person has already apostasized... Do you really think God is so highly offended by the actions of an innocent little girl helping the priest? If so, then you & I share a faith, but not a deity, for my God couldn't care less about such trivialities, as long as one's heart is pure.
