According to the magazine, the draft says the use of girl altar servers should be avoided "unless there is a just pastoral cause"

The above illustrates perfectly the sick pattern of the post-Vatican 2 papacy. Issue all kinds of directives, but then insert loopholes so that no one has to follow them. If anyone thinks this document is going to change anything, I've got a bridge to sell.

Very true. This is a problem with those who occupy high Church office at this time.

However at the parish level there are pastors and litugists who have no concern at all about forcing their entire congregation to change the way the celebrate Mass on a regular basis to try out the latest innovation. Not much leeway given to loopholes either. You generally are expected to go along or find another parish.
