Not only have false notions of inclusiveness, political correctness, and feminist ideology entered into the liturgy, but also the false notion of dividing biological sex from the term gender. In other words, the ridiculous notion that an individual might be a female biologically but identifies as a man and embraces male functions, offices, and roles. And this gender confusion is now fully present in the liturgy. Today’s Gospel speaks of Christ as the Sower Who sows the seed of His Word into the garden of our souls. Christ the Sower saw that the Seed of His Word found a most perfect garden…a garden immeasurably superior to the Garden of Eden…in the soul of the Blessed Virgin Mary. The Seed of Christ’s Word germinated within the Immaculate Heart of Mary growing and putting out shoots as she pondered the revelation of her Son. But now, it seems, confusion reigns as women lectors attempt to sow the seed of the Word looking to impregnate the garden of the Faithful. Will the good Lord bless this new official ministry of women lectors with fruitfulness when it makes a female, who is supposed to receive the seed, into the male who issues the seed? Only in a contraceptive, sodomitical, and gender confused age would we have such a liturgical travesty. It is obvious that novelty, modern fads, and alien innovations have penetrated the sanctuary itself. This should cause us to flee the Novus Ordo and find liturgical and doctrinal sanity in Tradition.

"We don't want a Church that moves with the world, we want a Church that MOVES the world"
G.K. Chesterton.
Chesterson was a genius! Or perhaps just greatly influenced by the Holy Spirit. 😊
@Richard Fox slaves were to be treated very well. Holy Scripture even states so. 👉🏻 All of us are slaves today in the same sense regarding the current economic system. What was abolished publicly by the church in her decrees was the idea that certain people were lesser than others. SO, The church actually defended dignity of slaves. That’s not to say there weren’t bad apples in the bunch abusing. In case you haven’t noticed, abuse occurs in every function of society and relation. When people know better, they do better and this 100% can only be traced to the preaching of The Gospel of Jesus Christ. He is The Light and The Way. When you realize your folly of ignorance regarding the church and the Catholic Church, you’ll behave better. 😘
@Al Hildford... Amen! God dwells IN those in a state of grace; God IS WORKING THROUGH US-His Church. So how can He be subject to-be moving with-the world? It's not possible. Jesus stated who was the prince of this world, and the apostle in Scripture stated who we're fighting against-not against flesh and blood.
When I step back and remind myself of all that again, it hits me that somehow the popes on down, starting in the 1960s, began to align with the agenda and spirit of the world. Snd you don't act like that unless your Faith is grown cold or lost entirely. It's interesting how >exactly at that time< Our Lady of Fatima's specific instructions and message were pushed aside. Then God, as He did with Pharaoh, removed His grace from softening the hearts of Church leaders. We pushed aside His mother, so He left us to our consequences.
I think Lucia of Fatima once said that the consecration of Russia and triumph of the Immaculate Heart of Mary would come about only when enough people were living the message of Fatima.... praying the rosary, offering sacrifices, living chastity in their state in life-making reparation to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary.
Our Lady of Fatima, pray for us.
Immaculate Heart of Mary, pray for us.
Dear Mary, intercede that our hearts be pure and strong to not give in to the illusions and deceptions of the world.
@Richard Fox Slavery is ongoing, maybe worse than ever now. Thank God for the apostles and Christ who remind us -- no matter what relationships the world organizes for us this side of Heaven, we are to treat people with regard.
@Richard Fox 'the infidel stole upon the citadel and destroyed from within' Kipling, Kim
It is so hard for women in this age to humble themselves. I’m a mom in my 30s and I’m saddened by how feminism has made my peers so prideful.
Pride is the problem & has always been man's downfall.
I'm glad this video exists. I'm a former atheist and when I was a kid and a teen the new mass felt so odd to me. Then I lost my faith. Now that I've regained it, I'm never going to the altar to read ever again after watching this. Disinformation is used against lay people. Its not hard to understand why things are this way. I don't need anyone to tell me I can do something that a man does to feel validated.
@Richard Fox I can make a difference between something Holy asked and instituted by God and something mundane. Worldly things are just worldly things. Plus we don't need to be the same in everything to be equals. The problem is that any boundary nowadays is seen as some kind of oppression, because we're indoctrinated to think everything is designed to turn womet into victims and we have to conquer something or we are oppressed. God's best creation is a woman so I don't need to be given some permission to feel respected or something
@@Elven. well said👍
@Richard Fox oh no! Sky Daddy can’t handle a woman reading in church💀
I went to mass several weeks ago and due to no lectors, the priest read all readings. I really enjoyed it.
I do believe that the Holy Sacrifice of the Holy Mass should be handled by the priest celebrating the Mass can hold the attention of the Holy Mass
participants more effectively 🙏
That is how it is at the TLM the deacon or Priest does all the readings.
@@ectan6979 A.) The church has always operated under Sacred Scripture and Sacred Tradition, whereas protestant schismatics like Luther (similar to modernist schismatics today) turned against Sacred Tradition, popes, Ecumenical Councils, etc, and devised Sola Scriptura, when in the first 500 years of the church, for example, Sola Scriptura was never taught and the TLM existed long before Trent, with most elements going back to Sacred Scripture.
B.) Vatican II "signatories" would not affirm that divine truth is in Sacred Tradition, and thus turned against the Council of Trent, the 4 papacies that spanned Trent, all the popes after Trent that concurred with this Council and the Sacred Scripture, Sacred Tradition, councils and popes that Trent built upon in the hermeneutic of continuity.
C.) St. Sixtus 1 (c. 115): "The Sacred Vessels are not to be handled by others than those consecrated to the Lord."
Those who say they want to go back to the early church ignore the fact that women at the very beginning weren't allowed to be consecrated for this, nor allowed to touch sacred objects, nor allowed to do readings, all of which undoes what Pope Pachapapa wants for acolytes and lectors. And St. Paul wrote in the Sacred Scripture that women were to keep silent in the churches and not usurp authority over the man (1 Cor. 14: 34-35; 1 Tim 2:11-12).
The OT and NT are the same: Male priests, male High Priest (Aaron, etc) in the OT and later Jesus Christ, first High Priest of the NT in the order of Melchizedek, male priests only in the church. St. Paul only appointed male bishops, bishops then appoint male priests.
In other words, he was doing his job.
@@raymack8767 Great and informative post. Blurring lines, roles, distinctions is carried on like there's no tomorrow. Profane and sacred are considered by many to be two sides of the same coin. Hence, the complete disregard for anything that should be referenced and held sacred. The priest is just a minister. The altar is just a table. The host is just a chewable. This is destructive Deconstructionism. The flattening out of anything that makes for distinctions. It's funny how the left demands "diversity." But works assiduously to dismantle and eliminate it.
If I’m being honest even some regular Joe going up in his polo or suit to do the readings feels off.
THANK YOU!!!
It’s just like Protestant church. 😖
According to the Byzantine Rite at least, readings are to be CHANTED, in a method according to the TRADITION, by ORDAINED CLERGY who are MEN w/ DEEP VOICES THAT CARRY THROUGH THE CHURCH, & who wear CASSOCKS & VESTMENTS (or in the lower orders possibly just cassocks). In a women’s monastery only women are allowed to do readings b/c they read for other women only. I am pretty sure they are supposed to be ordained too, as deaconesses. (A lot of people think deaconesses are supposed to be female deacons, but deacons lead both sexes, & women are not allowed.) So cringy when a woman, or a man w/ a weak, high-pitched voice, does a reading! Sounds bad & it’s not possible to focus on the meaning.
?
Or the guy in flip flops & shorts.
Adults were actually wearing jeans to 2020 Christmas Mass!!!?!!! I couldn’t believe it. 😞
@@SalveRegina8 Witnessed this profanity and disrespect at a Midnight Mass in Winter Park, Fl. Women dressed immodestly, as if they're off to a party. Men dressed like they're lounging at a poolside. All reflections of a breakdown of the belief of the real Presence of Christ in the Eucharist. Women, in fact, were prominent in ever aspect of this liturgical circus, save the Consecration. The priest being relegated to a minor role, sat throughout the ceremony,and did little. Call this what one will. It is definitely and certifiably not Catholicism.
It isn’t a problem of “not enough men”. It’s a problem of “not enough WILLING men”.
Good point.
Not enough encouragement for boys. Try saying this and seeing if it flies. "There not enough women in Science and Tech fields because they aren't willing"
@@gunzofthenavarrone8293 Not enough boys. I'm in my twenties and when I go to the local parish there are hardly any children. I don't know if its just thats not the mass that most of the families with children go to or what but it seems to me that catholics killed their own future by not having children.
@@johndenver6816 Not enough boys for sure. N.O. Catholic Churches are dying, they need to 'take who they can get'. Female ordination will probably happen in my lifetime, because no man wants to be associated with homosexuals and aging liberals.
@@derekr1013 the perfect storm.
I'm glad I finally found the FSSXP and my sons are learning to be altar boys.
When I was younger (8-17) I was a lector occasionally when needed. I’m horrified looking back now how people let me do something like that. For a while I even wanted to be a Eucharistic minister. I looked into it because I didn’t want to do anything shady and was horrified to see the reality.
I had an occasion to be summoned literally it was demanded of me under pain of the sin of ommission if I didn't read the narration of The Passion of our Lord so I put on my veil and my veil was covering my head AND my face and I felt so ridiculous but I did my best to give a humble narration voice so it's not to draw attention to myself. God forgive me.
@@lggardenia3929 please don't feel that way. Its not your fault--Christ sees your heart so stop worrying.
I used to be a Eucharistic Minister at the hospital for my church, it came into my conscious why this was wrong. My hands were unconsecrated and I was giving God in the hand where particles of God could be stepped on, I was not washing the case that I was carrying the proper way. I stopped and confessed this terrible sin in my heart. Now I see many of the laity helping and remember the story of Mary and Martha. I am choosing the better part, to serve Jesus.
The church has allowed female lectors.
Don't be scrupulous!
@@chriscampbell7895 again the church allows It. It's probably up to the discretion of your bishop. From the letters of Ignatius "To follow your Bishop Is to follow Christ" paraphrasing, but yeah, don't spread misinformation about this. (DISCLAIMER, I AM NOT ADVOCATING FOR FEMALE LECTORS)
Makes sense. I especially despise the way male pronouns have been removed from our hymns. Ridiculous
Yes, and we have even changed our grammar to appease the feminists. "To each their own".
Woke music music publishers and the politically correct people on the worship commission and parish council who purchase them.
Just the hymns themselves are bad enough without the added insult of "inclusiveness."
Sad that church bows to culture
Women cannot be Priests. The Church does not have the authority to allow women to be Priests. God "invented" the Priesthood and only He has "authorship" of this...not us. For more on this,I suggest you Google Christopher West on why the Church cannot allow women priests: also Dr. Peter Kreeft on the same subject. It clarifies A LOT....
As I have become better formed in my faith, (what I lacked growing up) I find it harder and harder to be accepting and supporting of women on the altar and in the sacred space and sanctuary. I WAS a Lector, I WAS an LEM, I can no longer, and I repent of ever having done so. I questioned when asked to do these things. I felt then and still feel that I was unworthy. But "father" said it was okay, and I did so from ignorance.
I understand.
You are not alone!
I did so also,out of ignorance in one case and , I thought, out of charity.
I was never comfortable serving the Mass. What is the problem with Catholic young men and older men? Why are you putting women in this position?
The priests turn to us women because the men won't make the sacrifice and volunteer! Actually, it is an undeserved honor!!! Praying hoping men will step up!
Give the 87 year old men a break too!
@Sandra Dent Praise God.
Yeah, I think the number one issue is ignorance in these matters.
@@bethmartin4104
What is the problem with YOUNG Catholic men? No, the problem is with Catholic fathers who do not want their sons to be priests or serve in the Church. The problem is also with Catholic mothers who are unwilling to 'sacrifice' and lose their sons to serve God & his church. Today's Catholic mothers will not truly & wholeheartedly embrace the example of the Blessed Virgin Mary who gave herself willingly to do God's bidding & and bore a Son to become the High Priest.
Praise Jesus! Im 42 and serve both Sat and Sunday Divine Liturgy, long with my youngest son. My oldest boy rings the bells.
Hoping to start studying for the sub diaconate next year.
You are correct, we have a crisis of faithful men willing to sacrifice, but the parishes that do flourish!
I attended a family funeral in the Church of England. The officiating pastor was a woman. That was an eye opener for me. It is not a woman's vocation, a woman cannot be a father or a priest.
Even if you feel a woman cannot be a priest, what has that to do with a funeral? Many people have died and never received a funeral. Think of all those killed in concentration camps and elsewhere during the Holocaust. They didn’t get a funeral. Anyone who dies and has a funeral is blessed and so is their family. Stop dwelling on who officiates a funeral.
If Our Lord wanted women to be priests, he would have ordained His immaculate Mother as one. He didn’t. There is a reason why Blessed mother was not there during the last supper, when our dear Lord initiated the priesthood. We are to follow His will. The role of women is to follow Blessed Mother. Pray and be a mother . Be at the foot of the cross. Being a mother is the most beautiful thing a woman can do. Our Blessed Mother is the queen of the universe, highest among all the creatures- not by forcing her way to climb up, But by her humility and her resignation to the will of Almighty God.
This whole craving of some women to become priests is not because of their love for God. It is due to self love and pride. They don’t understand priesthood at all. A priest is in persona Christi . He is married to Holy mother church. Christ is the bridegroom. A woman can’t be a bridegroom. If you want to dedicate your life for Christ, be a nun. Remember all the great saints and doctors of the church who consecrated themselves to Christ by being His brides.
Amen. So true
Beautifully and perfectly said, thank you!
Some private revelations have the BVM being the first to receive the Blessed Sacrament from an angel of the Lord.
Not as to receive the mark of His Priesthood, but His Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity.
Very well said. Thank you!
Yes. I agree. They should be a nun if they really want to serve in the church . It makes me think that there are other motives behind their wanting to be deacons and priests.
Thank you, Father Casey, for this clarification. I don't think many parishes realize fully what has been going on over the years. How tragic to lose the ancient Traditions done for hundreds of years! We can only pray for a restoration of the beauty of Traditional Values.
I am a Traditionalist Catholic woman. I have been a Traditionalist Catholic my whole life. My priority number one is to follow and commit to the traditional teachings of our beloved church. The law of God never, never, ever ever ever change just to fit the wicked agenda of most human beings who have been working 24/7 the law of God to fit their wicked agenda. I was not even born when they infiltrated the church. God bless you all.
Do you have any books you recommended?
@@zsareinapouliot9125 Trojan Horse in the City of God
I remember going to Holy Communion and approaching af female Eucharistic Minister who was busy chatting to another female Eucharistic Minister as she placed the Eucharist on my tongue. As she was just about to give me communion, she apologised for chatting. I don't know if my thoughts were written across my face. Many of these women are good, well-meaning people but many usurp the role of the priest. The mass is militaristic and no man is enticed into the priesthood when women are given male roles. We are not politically correct, we do not change with fashions, we are not swayed by social engineering. We believe in truth and we know feminism, along with many other "isms" rot society from the core.

Let's make it simple 😉
A king may move a man, a father may claim a son, but that man can also move himself, and only then does that man truly begin his own game. Remember that howsoever you are played or by whom, your soul is in your keeping alone, even though those who presume to play you be kings or men of power. *When you stand before God, you cannot say, But I was told by others to do thus* or that virtue was not convenient at the time. This will not suffice. Remember that 🤗

Also, go have a chat with Our Lady.
@Clare S only consecrated hands may touch the blessed host, in fact, everything that comes in contact with the consecrated host, the chalice, the patten, everything. The priests are representing Jesus, something we are not able to do. Not even Our Lady would do it. And she is the most blessed creature of all.
"Gender confusion presented fully in the liturgy". I have heard this parallel drawn before and it makes sooooo much sense! I love it! Thankfully we do have the Traditional Latin Mass and the Eastern Divine Liturgy.
Yes indeed. Please see my previous comment to JoyfulHeart. The beauty of the ancient Divine Liturgy of the Catholic Eastern Rites is one of the best kept secrets in the Catholic Church.
@@marnatz5 I agree! Sadly, and as much as I love the Divine Liturgy that I attend, women are now able to be lectors and this is very, very bothersome to me.
Michelle, have you or anyone else in your parish discussed this with your pastor? Have you contacted your bishop?
@@marnatz5 The priests in my city do as their told. I do think that there are a few that can see that we need to return to Tradition, but their hands are tied. Our bishop is making priests, to this day, sanitize their hands in between every communicant (while Susan from Parish Council stands next to them to hold the bottle) and they all have to mask. Needless to say, talking to my bishop is pointless. He's part of the problem. I pray for his repentance and amendment of his ways every day.
Thank God Almighty we still have some courageous Priest giving us the truth!
Thank you for for caring about your vocation and and showing a fathers love by fearless teaching us the truth. We need all Priest to be like you.
I've gotten to the point where I can't see Novus Ordo as, as holy as the Latin Tridentine Mass. I just can't see it anymore.
look at the eucharistic miracles , maybe you can regain some faith .
My NO is celebrated with extreme reverence and holiness. My Priest is a holy dedicated man. My Bishop is one of a handful who speak truth to power about sodomy and abortion. What about your Bishop?
Get ready for when the Latin Mass is banned by the Vatican
@@lilyw.719 Who discerns these "miracles" They can be from Lucifer too.
@@lilyw.719 an interesting point: as far as I know every true Eucharistic miracle, is as a result from some sacrilege of The Host.

So did the Good Thief lead a sinful life and so have we all to some degree or another; and yet we are sure he is in paradise because Jesus forgave him “on the spot”. Wouldn’t it be fair to conclude “God would not scorn a repentant heart,” as the Psalms show us-for example, Psalm 51. Thanks for sharing.

@@edithaarzagaarzaga2866 Very well said. Thanks!
Casey, we all are sinners! as my Priest says, keep coming to Confession, and remember that life is very very short
Too many men don’t go to church at all and aren’t the spiritual leaders in their homes. I would love to hear this priest do a homily praising both the male and female roles in the church and why we need both to imitate Christ. We know what’s wrong, now teach us what’s right!
Excellant... stop ignoring the elephant !!! Speak thru Your Priests oh Lord Your servants are ready to listen...i pray
Right. 90%of mass attendies in our cathedral are female :(
Yes men aren't fulfilling their God given responsibilities!
see if you can find something about this from Fr. John Riccardo in Detroit. He is excellent on this point.
I was a lector and an Extraordinary Minister of Holy Communion but something felt off. I never felt worthy. Thank you for this confirmation Fr. May God have mercy on us. 🙏🏼
I was born in 1960 and was never aware of this conflict. I come from very Holy parents and followed my mother to be Eucharistic minister ( my mom was a 3rd order Carmelite). I prayerfully studied & adored my Lord in the Eucharist.
I also assisted the Priest two times as Lector after eye surgery as he begged someone to read for him.
I did not know there was an issue or that it was political, nor do I have the desire to become a Priest, although if I were born male I would try to be a Priest. But God made me a woman, mother of 6,gma of 15,& grt gma of 1.
I was just trying to help out because our parish needed Eucharistic & Lector ministers.
They do not need your help.
God knows your heart, I wouldn't worry about it... When you know better, you do better. If I were in your shoes, maybe I'd try to get my sons, grandsons, even great-grandsons interested in serving at the altar.
Don't worry about it. I won't disagree with the fact that the priests who first started getting women into the role of lectors way back when were trying to cause a revolution and mess things up. But the fact is that women lectors are a fact of life and whatever this priest says it is licit for a woman to read at Mass and a lot of them that I have encountered do a very good job. This priest is just throwing red meat to his audience so he gets a lot of likes because if he gave a homily about the rampant pride and sense of self superiority and unwarranted judgementalism among so called 'traditionalists' then his audience would desert him.
don't let the rad trads intimidate you! Both Lector and EMofHC are approved ministries. When/if the church changes their mind, then we will comply. Until then, it is "right & just" to serve your parish as the Lord Jesus Christ called you.
@@donnabungo2516 God bless you Donna!
This is why I attend the Latin mass!! You can't use women there! YES....thank you! I am a woman that doesn't feel left out.
to me, the best thing about a Latin Mass, is the priest can't clown around, and they wouldn't have such stupid songs blaring into a microphone
They don't use women in the ancient Catholic Eastern Rites either. Anyone can phone their local chancery office and find out if their is an Eastern Catholic Rite Church in their diocese.
@@marnatz5 If the pope is successful in eliminating my diocese Latin Mass, I found a Ukrainian Catholic Church right down the street!
My local NO parish is controlled by women at every level of "ministry". I won't participate after a run-in with a woman CCD leader who I overheard lecturing her daughter to get on the Pill. It is so disheartening.
Unfortunately, these days you can't get most men to even go to mass, much less serve at mass. Take a look and see how many women are there alone with their children.
Maybe men don't attend Mass because of the feminization of the minor orders.
I only have access to the novus ordo mass and the bizantine rite, after watching this I'm never going to the altar to read ever again. Thank you for the insights.
@Spartan Elf. You're welcome!!
I agree. But the men need to step up.
True. Its sad how our society has tried endlessly to deny men their masculinity and leadership qualities but I pray that men would take back their role as was given to them by God
The men will step up when the women are willing to step down.
Yes! Sadly in my parish there are not enough men that even attend mass to be lector’s or anything else.
@@theresahindermeier4667, men will step up when the Church returns them to their rightful place.
@@theresahindermeier4667 And if that doesn't happen? Men should step-up regardless of women willing to step down.
If Jesus wanted woman to become a priest Virgin Mary wood been the first priest but on the contrary He had chosen 12 men. 🙏🙏🙏
I don't want to see women as priests, but there are a lot of things that Jesus didn't say, and that doesn't make something true or false.
@@nena200able so Jesus a male has the seed. A women doesn't have the seed. There is a deeper meaning of things. Jesus definitely spoke about it.
@@Lulue_90 If Jesus definitely spoke about it, do you mind sharing the Bible verse with me? Otherwise I can't understand where you're coming from. As far as I'm concerned, both men and women have seeds, but I don't think we're taking about sperms and ovums here. Jesus started the Church, therefore he's considered the seed, and he's also the head, but we are the body, and I repeat....I wouldn't want to see women ordained as priests, but if we're the body, it includes men and women, and I think women are meant for more than just sitting in a pew with their mouths shut. If some people think that female lectors and Eucharistic Ministers are something that will lead to women being ordained, then that's a problem for those who think that's the way it should be, but that doesn't make it right. The true leaders of the Church need to stand their ground and fight for reserving the priesthood for exclusively men, but that doesn't mean that the culprit of all of this are women lectors or Eucharistic Ministers. In these days, even if there were no women lectors, people would be pushing for the female ordination to the priesthood. Gay marriage is not permitted in the Catholic Church, and now we have certain heretical bishops and priests pushing forward in favor of it. So these busibodies inside the Church, trying to make female priesthood a thing, would have done the same now regardless.
Exactly!
@@nena200able and the reason why he didn't say many things in the Bible is due to the fact that Jesus knew the Church would need guidance in future so He told the apostles before He ascended into heaven "I will send you the Holy Spirit, who WILL teach you all things. Thereby providing for us in the future teachings, rubrics, disciplines, doctrines, dogmas for many generations centuries millennia to come.
“And Mary pondered all these things in her heart”
Not “Mary spoke of all these things with her mouth”

It would be contrary to St Paul's injunction that a woman is not allowed to speak in church or teach a man. Our Lady's humility permitted her to submit when she was superior. Apostles dont only preach in words. Her prayers and the good example of her holy life are other kinds of apostolic action.

Mari- I respectfully disagree strongly. We have plenty of examples of women saints WHO SPOKE UP AND SPOKE OUT. And none of them are modern saints. Mary pondering things in her heart was simply describing the inner life of faith. It’s not an example of ‘’women should remain silent IN CHURCH” (the in church part is important-you left that inference out). Women are not non-beings without the need to communicate, but it’s imperative to communicate The Gospel, male or female believer. Mary did so in many ways- including speaking.
I wish I knew all of this. I was a Eucharist minister for 4 years in the 90s for my catholic college. Wish now I was not one

@Marie Paukowits. Now you know!!
Repent
In 1903, Pope Pius X restated the Church’s ban on women participating in church choirs. In his “Instruction On Sacred Music,” he ruled that women were not to be allowed any liturgical
function. However, Pope Pius XII, in his 1958 “Instruction on Sacred Music,” reversed this discrimination, but in actuality, he was only acknowledging the reality that women organists,
soloists, choir members and choir directors were already common across Catholicism.
What a video, thank you Father. Ave Maria
At the N.O. I used to go, one of the women lectors is also a yoga instructor, the other one had an altar in her closet, and would keep a consecrated host for her own adoration. No such thing at the TLM!
@cnunex. That's horrifying
What in the…
Lord have mercy on us
No such thing at the Divine Liturgy of the Catholic Eastern Rites.
These are the very steps that the Anglican took to open the way to women “priests.”
@Richard Fox Apparently, you know very little about the Anglican Communion where most Anglicans do indeed venerate Mary. The word venerate means to honor, respect or revere someone or some thing.
@Richard Fox it’s too bad you feel like this since because the long history of christianity in England both Catholic and Anglican have always venerated the Virgin Mary. Needless to say, except the radical protestant Anglicans Who would be more comfortable following the extremist positions of some of the other protestant sects.
@Richard Fox and yet both Luther and Calvin venerated the Virgin Mary. If you doubt me, please check their writings!
@Richard Fox Well, we certainly don’t find the the words Holy Trinity in the Bible yet every orthodox Christian believes there is One God in three Divine Persons. We do find in the Bible the Angel Gabriel greeting Mary with the words, “Hail Mary full of grace or highly favored depending on the Greek translation) the Lord is with you” We also see in Like Elizabeth calling Mary “blessed are you among women” and in the same book Mary says of herself. , “ all generations shall call me blessed”. Lastly, Christians do not worship a book, not even the Bible. Interesting to note that the canon of the New Testament with its 27 books was only declared inspired and the true word of God in the fourth century by the authority of the Catholic Church. until that time they will over 200 new testament books all claiming to be the inspired word of God. None of which became part of the official canon.
I think it is ironic that feminism has convinced woman to give up their most influential role as mothers (the hand that rocks the cradle rules the world) to become a cog in the wheel of the world that will be replaced and forgotten when they retire or die. I have often said this: I never married or had children. I had a good career and think I did a good job but the reality is that others may have just as easily done my job but only YOU can be a mother to your children. If you want to save souls raise faithful, respective and God fearing children and you will have accomplished the most important role there is for any individual.
Very beautiful and well said. Thank you. 🌼
I recall at one Mass when the first reading of Genesis was being read and the female lector replaced “helpmate” with playmate... couldn’t have been a once-off mistake because helpmate was mentioned a couple of times in the paragraph. I doubt she had been properly Catechised. Compared to if there were minor orders - lectors and acolytes to carry out liturgical services they would have been more well formed.
Thankfully the priest emphasised during his homily that it should not have been playmate at all.
Hefner 3.16.
'Scuse me while I barf....
Sounds like someone was trying to be snarky with the lector. Then again, a helpmate can be helpful in the form of a playmate if the man behaving like a toddler is in need of one. 😄Help comes in many forms- we just need to follow God’s guidelines. 😁

Seeing a sanctuary dominated by women and by feminine energy, what sane male would want to be a priest and have to endure that all the time? When women invade traditionally male spaces, men flee. Both from the altar and from the pews.
@polemeros. Amen🙏
This is true but women don’t want to hear it
This is why I shy away from charismatic prayer groups because women are taking over the sanctuary.
Where are the man. When i'm at church i see 90% woman. Where are the man, maybe you guys need to take matter in your own hands. Man should lead in the church not woman but where are they ?
I’m a male and I have decided to become a lector. It is a great honor and the women of the parish were so happy to see a (relatively) young man “stepping up” and be a part of the Mass.
It is an honor to lector, and I wish more men would have a relationship with Christ as they do with their favorite sportsball team.
It doesn't seem like many young men are active in church ministry.
I was a Eucharist minister for years, until the day I realized that IT had become ordinary in my hands. I had to quit.
Exactly the same as me....my eyes were opened to see how as a EM I was complicit in the denigration of the faith of the Real Presence....
Good for you. Call it out when you see it
Gender confusion?? So what must happen when the men are not interested in participating in liturgical services or worse..not interested in attending mass? The fact that we have female lectors is a sign of masculinity breakdown in our catholic societies.Let us not ignore that.
Priests can fulfill liturgical services.
true. maybe always been,. i dont know
I was a female Lector, became informed, and quit. (Not judging well meaning female non-feminist Lectors.)But I do feel so many women on the Altar has made the Church look very matriarchal turning off healthy males & resulting in a male exodus to the TLM and Divine Liturgy of the Catholic Eastern Rites where there are no aberrations that you find so often in the Novus Ordo Mass.
It is true that masculinity has been under assault over the past ~ 100 years or so (e.g. pornography, feminism, Hollywood, testosterone disrupters, etc.) and thus it has been immensely weakened. And so has the nuclear family as Our Lady of Fatima warned. However, it does not follow that this grants women the right to usurp positions of authority (i.e. the sin of Eve).
What could women do instead? How about encouraging the men in their lives to participate and lead in the spiritual battle? How about giving them the catechesis they likely did not receive growing up by sending them videos like these? The head of the household is there to protect and provide for your family not just physically/materially, but spiritually.
In a parish where i served as lector for 8 years, they used to assign readers just before the mass begin. Most of the time they dont deliver it well due to no preparation. Then the parish priest organized lectors group. Sadly only women were interested to join. Our priest taught us how to do our job properly and how not to cause distractions at mass. As a group coordinator i give the next readers their assignments a week before so they practice and understand what they will proclaim. So far we were doing our duties faithfully.
If it is faulty to give women any function in the church then priests and bishops must do their best to activate men in their parishes to participate. Or else the priest will do everything if no other "worthy men" interested to serve.
yes, the priest CAN read the readings. it's so odd to even discuss. The priest IS able to read.
Hate the women lectors in their baggy pants, t- shirts and trainers who drag themselves up to the altar in the NO mass to do the readings and also those who hand out communion. TLM mass for me, thank you.
nothing looks stupider than csually dressed lay people standing along side a vested priest, both distributing Communion. And they are not "Eucharistic Ministers" Priests and Deacons are Eucharistic Ministers, by virtue of Holy Orders. Lay persons can only be called "extraordinary ministers for the distribution of holy communion."
SADLY THERE ISN’T ENOUGH MEN WILLINGLY DO IT
Right . Or , the Men who are available, simply do not want to be a lector , etc.
Men aren't to be electors in the real Catholic trad mass. It the NOVUS ORDO blasphemous mass which had these Iay readers.

I have to attend a latin mass now that is 45 mins away, b/c i'm just tired of the world influencing churches everywhere
I'm a Catholic woman, who has served as a lector in my church for many years. I am not a feminist but a conservative. This is the first time I ever heard how wrong it is for women to serve as a lector. Very sad.
This priest always has wonderful sermons
The infallible and dogmatic teaching of the Council of Trent states that the minor orders are steps toward the priesthood. From this it is deducted that woman cannot enter the minor orders, because it is nonsensical for them to partake of the steps towards a state that is impossible for a woman to achieve: the priesthood.
Since it is absurd to take the steps towards what is impossible to achieve, one can safely say that authentic Catholic Teaching is that it is absurd and thus wrong for a woman to enter the minor orders.
Absolutely true logical and reasonable your post is. However the problem is don't expect people with no reason and logic to comprehend it. Unfortunately off for you between. Lastly it will be the very women reading your post that just won't understand as explained in Genesis 3.
Those slopes are very slippery, don't give an inch!
I am a woman and I have lectored at church. When I started lectoring, I had matured in the faith from the seeds which the priest had planted in me through the Word, the Gospel, and the Eucharist. I was able to share the good fruit of this seed through reading the first and second readings at church through the eyes of faith.
Thank you for your service and for your witness.

I have something I want to say about this. I feel like men need to step up and offer to do the readings. Right now at our church we have a lot of "openings" for lectors, however no one is signing up. Men, WE NEED YOUR LEADERSHIP! ❤️. I would certainly offer to help, but as a woman I don't feel ot is my place.
They won't unless Father asks a few individuals, privately, not in front of everyone. Then he needs to meet with the few, tell them what he expects from them, shows them. They will look forward ti it.
if you want more priests and leadership from men then we need to bring families back because families are gone, men don't even have authority in their own families nowadays. Young men are totally screwed by the world, several of them were raised by their mothers alone, they can't save us, in fact they need help
May women Lectors pray in the pew instead of lectoring and thus encourage men in their leadership role. Better yet the priest should do all the readings.
Why can't the priest himself do the readings?
dangit, Sensus, you're going all in w/ this topic and i admire you for that!
;D
If Mary, who is the Mother of God and the queen of heaven and earth didn't speak a word of any type of authority, nor did she tell out to defend her son prior to the crucifixion, but kept everything in her heart, why then should women usurp the role of men? Men need to take back their religious roles..we should go back to Vatican 1 which had the priest facing the Eucharist and not behind him.
Excellent homily and great explanation about so much that's wrong in the Novus Ordo! I wonder what Father has to say about the so-called 'children's mass' where children essentially perform all the roles except priest.
i think children's masses are a dumb idea. except for the Lectionary. The Mass is already dumbed down too much
I remember one of the first female lectors at the parish I grew up in. She had an angelic smile and voice, and seemed like such a saintly lady.
Here comes nursing school for me years later. My instructor suggests to me that I follow her for a procedure. (This lector lady is a nurse I find out.) She is testy, impatient, and rude to me and obviously doesn't want me there.
Obviously not the angel I thought she was. 😔
The doctor asked "what can I do for you"
I replied "I wanted to see if I could get passed your receptionist"

If you go to traditional Catholic CZcams teachings you will learn there's a Revolution in the Church. Father Chad Ripperger exorcist is very good. Other sites are LifeSite news, the Remnant TV with Michael Matt, also Taylor Marshall. The Vatican has plans for the NO Mass going from worse to incredible. They have admitted Vatican II created a new church. No it didn't!! Venerable Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen warned in 1970 that a Counterfeit church was being created. The true Church will be a remnant and probably go underground. But God will be with us. The Church will be purified through persecution and suffering. Many will be deceived and go by their feelings. Remember that Christ's teachings never change for Scripture says Jesus "is the same yesterday, today and forever". (Hebrews 13 :8)So get to know your Catholic Faith. Read Scripture. Follow the Catholic Church's 2000 years of t faithful teaching on faith and morals. Truth does not change.
The problem with lay lectors is that they are not clergy. Do away with lay individuals having an 'active' part in a religious service and there might not be a protestant service. Look at the Lutheran service.

Thank you for that great explanation.
I am a Catholic woman raised in the NO. I was honoured to proclaim the Word of God as a lector and share Holy Communion as an extraordinary minister of the Eucharist. After watching this video, I see how modernism has eroded vocations to the priesthood.
I agree that women should step away from the sanctuary. But as for women keeping silent? No, women should be allowed to respond out loud or sing hymns or psalms and receive the Body of Christ. (God did create man-male and female-in His own image.) Otherwise, why should women attend Mass?
The context of Paul's writing has nothing to do with singing. Paul is speaking in the context of teaching and asking questions. For her to sing and or pray in unison's with the fellow worshippers has nothing to do with Paul statement. You're welcome
To hell with the NO
@Rita Eslinger. I would have been embarrassed to do those things. I'm glad you saw the light.

That was an extremely clear concise reason to give for not having female lectors and I would only hope that it is given in all seminaries but sadly I doubt it... praise God!
TODAY SUNDAY FEB 14TH TWO WOMEN CAME TO MY HOUSE, ( 3 SENIOR CITIZEN HERE IN MY HOUSE) BROUGHT HOST FOR COMMUNION, WILLING WOMEN TO DRIVE IN THE SNOW , COLD SACRIFICING TO NURSING HOMES , HOUSES TO HOUSES , VERY SOLEMN , THEY FOLLOW WHAT THE PARISH PRIEST WANTED THEM TO DO , WE PRAY FIRST BEFORE THE COMMUNION, I FEEL THAT I WAS IN THE CHURCH , AFTER LIVE STREAMING THE MASS , AND GIVE THEM AN ENVELOPE TO BRING TO THE CHURCH
I think that the argument from the Theology of the Body can be brought to bear on the subject. That is that God instituted humanity as male and female and that each sex is given as a particular sign, of equal dignity, but signifying different things. It is the duty of the man, in the image of Christ, to serve out of love and make sacrifices for his beloved. It is fitting, therefore, that men serve at the Sacrifice of the Altar. Any argument about women not belonging in the sanctuary has nothing to do with capacity, but rather with the economy of signs which God has given us. Man represents Christ and woman represents Church.
Nicely said!
I agree! While the first-wave-pseudo-feminist in me (because I refuse to agree with any modern feminist ideologies: they're crazy lol) says that women are CAPABLE of carrying out the responsibilities of the priesthood, the part of me that desires Truth and theological correctness says that women are not AUTHORIZED by God to hold such offices. I think where modern-day-third-wave-feminists get this wrong is that the Church is not saying that women are not CAPABLE of becoming priests (unless I'm misunderstanding): it is simply that that is not how God intends for us to participate in the Church. If women are called to consecrated religious life, they can become sisters or nuns. There are also many other ministries in the Church that operate outside of the mass, such as choirs, religious education, and various committees for laypersons.
The objection I often face to "Men represent Christ, women represent the Church" is: then why are there lay men in the pews? If the Church is not represented strictly by women but by a mix of men and women, then the same logic should apply to the minister who acts in persona Christi.
Of course, it isn't true. But what is the proper response to that objection?
@@ircensko7324 Hmmm, I definitely am not an expert but this may be a case where it's not meant to be taken completely literally. By "church" it's probably not referring to the building nor the mass. But it's possibly related to the phrase "The Church is the bride of Christ".
@@sarahgattone2698 That is correct Sarah. The Church exists as an eternal reality,. The three aspects of the Church are the Church Militant, the Church Suffering and the Church Triumphant, and eventually the only Church remaining at the end of time will be the Church Triumphant.

I fear the Great Schism Our Lady speaks about in the MMP books is upon us. Let us ask Saint Michael to protect us .
I too fear a great schism like the one that had happened before. Separatists and loyalists factions
Men need to step up!
John 20:22 - Jesus only breathed on the male apostles, the first bishops, giving them the authority to forgive and retain sins. In fact, the male priesthood of Christianity was a distinction from the priestesses of paganism that existed during these times. A female priesthood would be a reversion to non-Christian practices. The sacred tradition of a male priesthood has existed uncompromised in the Church for 2,000 years.
1 Cor. 14:34-35 - Paul says a woman is not permitted to preach the word of God in the Church. It has always been the tradition of the Church for the priest or deacon alone (an ordained male) to read and preach the Gospel.
1 Tim. 2:12 - Paul also says that a woman is not permitted to hold teaching authority in the Church. Can you imagine how much Mary, the Mother of God, would have been able to teach Christians about Jesus her Son in the Church? Yet, she was not permitted to hold such teaching authority in the Church.

@@praytherosaryforpeace1204 Well, nobody should even be touching the Body of Christ with their hands. I don't know when or why that was ever allowed. A priest can minister the Sacrament to you by mouth, though.
A.) The church has always operated under Sacred Scripture and Sacred Tradition, whereas protestant schismatics like Luther turned against Sacred Tradition, popes, Ecumenical Councils, etc, and devised Sola Scriptura, when in the first 500 years of the church, for example, Sola Scriptura was never taught and the TLM existed long before Trent, with most elements going back to Sacred Scripture.
Vatican II "signatories" would not affirm that divine truth is in Sacred Tradition, and thus turned against the Council of Trent, the 4 papacies that spanned Trent, all the popes after Trent that concurred with this Council and the Sacred Scripture, Sacred Tradition, councils and popes that Trent built upon in the hermeneutic of continuity.
B.) 1.) St. Sixtus 1 (c. 115): "The Sacred Vessels are not to be handled by others than those consecrated to the Lord."
Those who say they want to go back to the early church ignore the fact that women at the very beginning weren't allowed to be consecrated for this, nor allowed to touch sacred objects, nor allowed to do readings, all of which affects what Pope Pachapapa wants for acolytes and lectors. And St. Paul wrote in the Sacred Scripture that women were to keep silent in the churches (1 Cor. 14: 34-35; 1 Tim 2:11-12).
Then Sacred Tradition enters...
2.) St. Basil the Great, Doctor of the Church (330-379): "The right to receive Holy Communion in the hand is permitted only in times of persecution."
St. Basil the Great considered Communion in the hand so irregular that he did not hesitate to consider it a grave fault.
3.) The Council of Saragossa (380): Excommunicated anyone who dared continue *receiving Holy Communion by hand.*
4.) This was *confirmed* by the Synod of Toledo.
5.) Saint Leo the Great read the sixth chapter of Saint John's Gospel as referring to the Eucharist (as all the Church Fathers did).
In a preserved sermon on John 6 (Sermon 9), Saint Leo says: "Hoc enim ore sumitur quod fide creditur" (Serm. 91.3). This is translated strictly as: “This indeed is received by means of the mouth which we believe by means of faith. "Ore" is here in the ablative and in the context it denotes instrumentation. So then, the *mouth* is the means by which the Holy Eucharist is received.
6.) The Synod of Rouen (650): Condemned Communion in the hand to halt widespread abuses that occurred from this practice, and as a safeguard against *sacrilege.*
Those who are amicable don't have a problem then after learning about this to start receiving on the tongue so as to try and help limit sacrilege, but the defiant types won't.
The Council of Rouen (650): “Do not put the Eucharist in the hands of any layman or laywoman but *only in their mouths.”*
7.) The 6th Ecumenical Council, at Constantinople (680-681): Forbade the faithful to take the Sacred Host in their hand, threatening transgressors *with excommunication.*
8.) St. Thomas Aquinas (1225-1274): "Out of reverence towards this Sacrament [the Holy Eucharist], *nothing touches it,* but what is consecrated; hence the corporal and the chalice are consecrated, and likewise the priest's hands, for touching this Sacrament." (Summa Theologica, Part III, Q. 82, Art. 3, Rep. Obj. 8.)
9.) The Council of Trent (1545-1565): "The fact that only the priest gives Holy Communion with his consecrated hands is an *Apostolic Tradition".*

The Induction
A rumor in the land the angels report.
There are many Christians who are inducted by the elites and don't even realize it. The psyche of the inducted is programmed, recorded and monitored. A disciple of God has the most powerful weapon no creature under heaven can match and that is the power of the Holy Spirit of God, the truth, His word, and the presence of His love.
At private schools, the top students attend a convocation where they are given nullification. There a rules in place to keep nullification from endangering others. At the convocation, they are baptized and inducted.
Please be aware of the Order and the elite's agenda to corrupt the population by creating a false god that will appear to them. If suddenly one day this "god" comes to you, unless you are keeping the Royal law, God's feast days, dietary law, and Sabbath day, your eternal soul will go into perdition forever. The elites know who you are and are trying to corrupt you. Please stay strong in Christ Jesus and do not forget the Bible. God is a spirit and those who worship Him must worship Him in spirit and in truth. The spirit is not always heard, sometimes it is a feeling you have. True prophets of God like Ezekiel have tasted literal honey when they read the word and accept HIs Holy Spirit, a warmth that fills your whole body with the angel felt next to you.
The Hebrew people are the closest spiritually to the living God. He knows those who are His and established an everlasting covenant with His beloved people. The true Hebrews are the African Americans, Native Americans, those still in Africa along the west coast, Congo, Bantu, the Caribbean ect. They were scattered to the four corners of heaven. Any Gentile can be grafted into the covenant when they begin to keep His laws. Timothy was a beloved son in the faith and his name is written in heaven now.
The large hadron collider CERN is responsible for the thinning/lifting of the veil across the world. The elites want to release the adversary into the world. Nullification can also corrupt the bones of the deceased. Trust in God and He will deliver you.
Revelation 1:7
7 Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen.
The Bacterium
Sometime in the future most likely, the CDC will release bacterium into the air. Even now the Covid vaccines may contain a prototype of this virus. The vaccine is creating Manchurian candidates who will when the demons or aliens come, begin to worship/ lose their humanity. Do not donate your blood, the doctors are taking the samples form the population to research facilities to discover who is Hebrew and can overcome the vaccination. The vaccines contain strains similar to the rabies vaccine. Indestructibles are those who when exposed, have developed/transitioned from human to demon. Each person becomes susceptible to the adversary and can become a host for the "aliens".
To be honest woman had leading roles in Jesus ministry His Mother Mary Magdallen and others. Jesus never saw gender as a defining role why should men
Oh, please. Not a woman's place? I think woman know how to be reverent and are honored to be lectors. Especially if they read better than some men.
Maria, who cleans the floor of the sanctuary in your church? Who dusts in the sanctuary? Who irons and washes the finger towels and purificators, etc.
@@gemoftheocean Apparently, you're a liberal in the sense that women are equal to men in all areas. Women have a different role than men. The 12 apostles were all Male. They were given the authority of His Church to carry on with the tradition that He set forth at the pascual meal. Notice there weren't women present? Our Blessed Mother nor Mary Magellan weren't there. Don't you get it? Jesus had to literally show man how and what to do when He walked the earth. Nowhere, in the New Testament is noted that women had to be and do as men did. Women are equal to men in dignity. Read Genesis where God gave Adam and Eve each their ro le. This generation has been going against God's will for man. God have mercy.
Very logical presentation. I believe what Christ requires for correction of the church is our asking him in prayer, fasting, and suffering offered through Mary. Mary pray for us.
The church is suppose to influence society. Not the other way around.
I am women - strong women -NO to women in liturgy God bless us
And where are the MEN. As leader of lectors for about 30 years, I have found absolutely no interest among males in joining the ministry, composed of 80 % women.
They don’t even attend church anymore; ( as long as the wife attends they’re fine)
Too many husbands say "my wife goes for the both of us". My dad used to say that. I pray for his soul.
@lourdes badillo. May I suggest going to the traditional Latin mass.
Also, they may think, "It appears to be woman' work, so ..". Perhaps if women remembered their place in the liturgy, men would see the need to step up. I, of course, say this with all respect to women and I understand their essential role as mother's, wives, and queens of their households.
@@soldier8304 If men only were lectors, more would be willing to perform this sacred duty. Men typically do not want to be involved with activities overseen by women.
Men don't want to be involved with activities led or dominated by women, that is because y'all gossip too much and make the whole environment feel different, it's almost like a chore y'know.
I find it off putting when women are extraordinary eucharistic ministers.
any lay person... none has consecrated hands. With many it is an ego trip, that's all.
Or layman in general
@@lentilgirl1603 correctly spotted,it's a Grandiose personal platform and nothing to do with anything Sacred Men and Women on the Altar don't have a clue they don't know what they are doing.Its so disrespectful they are not Consecrated and Never will be .It's all just part of the slippery slope downwards ,it's the road to the Apocalypse,we are actually living through it now.Its going to get worse and we have to fight for the truth because there is Virtue to be found in the Battle for Jesus Christ genuine Church. We have to stand strong and hang on to our Faith and be counted,it will pass eventually 🙏
If you feel women shouldn't then you should also feel put off by lay men doing it.
Oh what a calamity!! To see a woman in the holy sanctuary. Oh what calamity to see a woman dressed scantily, yes scantily, in high heels and short, very short skirts, in the holy sanctuary. I was one of them you know. Thank you Lord for you infinite mercy that you forgave me. I thank you my Lord for answering my prayers in leading me to a traditional church and the very holy priest.
So now we wonder why we the world is at the precipice of disaster. Wonder no more! Repent!
Great statement May
The problem with women lectures is the same problem that afflicts the Catholic Church: the feminization of a once-vibrant and virile force for good in the world has been reduced to flaccid impotence and dithering indecisiveness.
Yes we should have more women teaching each other home making skills or taking care of the children. Women’s fellowship groups; so many wonderful things women can organize.
@elizabethlawrence. I absolutely agree!!
Very well said. If Jesus wanted female priest & deacons He would hav been incarnate as a woman.
I agree completely.
I believe that there is a divine grace that comes from God to the church when we obey scripture and tradition. Women lectors are not scriptural or in keeping with tradition. When I learned this...I stepped down.
I thankfully did not lector for very long. The priest presides over the mass.. if there are no men to read....please dear priests....do the readings. If you have prayed and read over the readings already, dear priests you are called...
Be our shepherds and make the mass truly the source and summit of our faith🙏
We are at our Lords passion. I beg you to be our holy example of reverence and piety✝️🙏✝️
Recently a lady lector said, happy pentecostal Sunday, uuuummmm, what???
I didn't catch what he said at 1:20. The "raredos" behind the main altar?
Since you are keen to follow "traditions" it is worth noting that, (I quote) "The early church considered Mary Magdalene an “apostle to the apostles,” and Luke relied heavily on the testimony of women as he wrote both Luke and Acts.
The involvement of women continued in the first few decades of the church, attested by both biblical and extra-biblical sources. A number of women served as leaders of the house churches that sprang up in the cities of the Roman Empire-the list includes Priscilla, Chloe, Lydia, Apphia, Nympha, the mother of John Mark, and possibly the “elect lady” of John’s second epistle.
In the 2nd century, Clement of Alexandria wrote that the apostles were accompanied on their missionary journeys by women who were not marriage partners, but colleagues, “that they might be their fellow-ministers in dealing with housewives. It was through them that the Lord’s teaching penetrated also the women’s quarters without any scandal being aroused. We also know the directions about women deacons which are given by the noble Paul in his letter to Timothy."
Was that perhaps the role of Junia? She was mentioned by Paul in Romans 16 as “of note among the apostles.” Some have debated the meaning of this verse, but early tradition holds that Junia was a woman and was considered an apostle. John Chrysostom wrote: “Indeed, to be an apostle at all is a great thing; but to be even amongst those of note; just consider what a great encomium that is...Oh, how great is the devotion of this woman, that she should even be counted worthy of the appellation of apostle."
While I hope NEVER to see female priests in the Catholic churh, I find the title of this video both discriminating and off-putting.
It is certainly possible that there are females in the church who want 'career', who want to be noticed, who want somehow to 'compete with men'. But -- have there not been men in the Church who were more interested in climbing the ranks than truly serving God? Have there not been men who lacked humility and sincere dedication to priesthood?? The problem is not the "women" - the problem is the problem.
If you want to follow tradition, go back to early Church times and you will find plenty of examples of women who served Christ passionately. Paul also mentions Phoebe in Romans 16, “a deacon of the church at Cenchreae.” He calls her a prostatis or overseer - one who presided over the Eucharist.
We can truly be thankful for these early women leaders and countless other females who served in the way they felt called to do so.
So - to exclude women so rigidly and categorically from even reading in Church.... well, at this point, you might as well be a Muslim and require that all women be veiled from head to foot.
That has little to do with faith, and very much to do with the traditions and ideas of men.
Honest question: should women cantor at Mass? Frankly I would love to see men step up and once again pick up these roles properly. I think it would make a huge impact on the younger generations of males, showing them a true image of holy masculinity. Sadly, in our parish like many others we seem to see the women far more willing to serve (not out of a sense of feminism but a desire to serve their parish, however disordered that may be) than the men are. As in society in general, our men have become passive and slothful.
Maybe. But modernists put women in mens roles regardless of whether or not men are willing to serve.
the missalette people have all the music screwed up, so only a soprano can sing their notes. and we have these cheap disposable "missalettes." still, after all these years. We should have a decent hymnal, with antiphons. and if somebody cant hear the lector, they can buy their own missal. like we used to do.
