Girls May Now Assist at Mass in Northern Virginia

In the name of fairness, or so it seems

"It wasn't fair," said Taylor Chamness, front, that she couldn't take part in Catholic Church services while her 11-year-old twin brother could. (Photos By Lucian Perkins -- The Washington Post)
========================

Those who opposed the change said it might discourage boys from becoming altar servers and maybe entering the priesthood when they grow up. Only men can be priests in the Catholic Church.
. . .
Taylor and Conor's mom, Lyn McGee, said it was odd to have to tell her twins that one couldn't do something that the other one could. "For this generation of girls, there is nothing they can't do," McGee said. "This is probably the only thing in [Taylor's] life she couldn't do because she's a girl."
Yes, Lyn, there is something Taylor can't do and that is 'father' a child...and that's because she is a girl...

When will she break that news to her? And what will she say to her son if he decides that "it's not fair" that he can't get pregnant and become a mother?

There remains, thank God, one diocese left which has not succumbed to the feminist agenda - the vocations rich diocese of Lincoln, Nebraska, under the outstanding leadership of Bishop Fabian Bruskewitz!
