From CBS: Peeved Parishioners Leaving SF Catholic Church Over Ban On Girls As Altar Servers

SAN FRANCISCO (CBS SF) — A Bay Area church is now under fire over a controversial new policy saying only boys can be altar servers.

Fr. Joseph Illo took over five months ago and decided to train only boys to be altar servers. He said he has no choice but to exclude girls because the future of the church is at stake. “The specifics of serving at the altar is a priestly function,” Illo said. “And the Catholic church does not ordain women.”

…The new practice is making waves at the century old church Star of the Sea. Since the ’70s, they’ve used altar girls during masses.

The retrograde Archbishop of San Francisco supports this discriminatory policy.  A seventh grader at the parish school has better pastoral instincts than either Fr. Illo or the Archbishop.  One day SHE will make and excellent Catholic Priest.

“It just kind of makes me feel that I’m not good enough because I’m a girl,” said a 7th grader at the school who wishes to stay anonymous.
