First, to repeat what Father said in his now deleted reply: Pentecost is evangelisation, not worship; second, performing a task is not the same as ministry, which comes only with the Sacrament of Ordination (Christifidelis laici 23). I am better informed on other views than you might imagine. Having taken RE in a Catholic School up until sixth form I only ever knew liberal Catholicism. As you might suspect, I know Father personally, and I do not hear vitriolic statements nor observe intolerance in regard to female service. I do see a sincere faithfulness to the Church put into practice and reasoning clearly -gently- expounded. As it happens, and despite the fact that the altar girls left service on leaving primary school, we have seen a growth in the number of female readers and extraordinary ministers since Father’s arrival.Andrewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09049074568745678686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-641832955811669058.post-71417521595041705752012-06-21T15:22:04.396+01:002012-06-21T15:22:04.396+01:00I do hope that the writer of the above treats her ...I do hope that the writer of the above treats her or his GP with more respect than they have chosen when addressing you Father, as I am sure your training at Ushaw for 6 years and your ordination deserves as much respect in the use of your title as does a doctor whom I am sure the writer would<br />Never address as Tom, Harry or indeed SarahWrightkindnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-641832955811669058.post-38517215222750558932012-06-21T07:00:04.072+01:002012-06-21T07:00:04.072+01:00Your remarks are fundamentally flawed.

That women and girls are treated by (Father) Gary in the way you describe only shows his own ignorance and intolerance.

I do wish our other clergy (God Bless them) would find the courage to guide the faithful in the right way; ensuring authentic spiritual growth. Surely we laity – as members of Christ’s Body – ‘deserve’ to be nourished not only with Christ Himself in the Holy Eucharist, but also by the beauty of Liturgy celebrated according to the mind of His Church?Wrightkindnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-641832955811669058.post-50943666630831386142012-06-19T18:01:13.542+01:002012-06-19T18:01:13.542+01:00Well said Andrew.

Unless we have (as in the traditional Latin missal) a translation of everything being said then, as you rightly say, we could be saying that we agree with anything. I applaud Fr Gary for replacing altar girl servers with boys & wish many other priests would do likewise.<br />How is Holy Communion received at Thornley? Even in EF Masses we have 1 old lady who insists on receiving in the hand & she is allowed to rather than cause upset. I am hoping that this will change when the priest spells it out from the pulpit that this is no longer allowed in the EF.David O'Neillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04023042558615821880noreply@blogger.com
