I think the fear of women increasing their roles is then all the men will leave...and I think it is true that the proportions would swing wildly. But it would sort itself out.

And never ever ever allow any children, boys or girls, or even teens, in the sacristy..even if they say other witnesses will be there. They can put on their altar clothes outside in the main part of the church.

NEVER EVER HAVE AN ALTAR BOY OR GIRL IN A SACRISTY. Too many awful things have gone on and it is a privilege we have lost, I think forever. I want to scream when I see them come out. And is dressing them up appealing to the creepy part of some priests' psyches? I don't know but read up on what Pope John Paul I said about paraphelia..attachment to the vestments etc. Which I must say explains a lot. And all of this has to be discussed in public, no matter how icky it is.
