Pope Benedict XIV (14th), in keeping with Sacred Tradition, reiterated that woman are FORBIDDEN to serve at the altar in any way (i.e. Eucharistic Ministers, Lectors, Altar Servers, etc). No future pope can change this because popes CAN NOT contradict their predecessors NOR CAN future popes contradict the Sacred Tradition. The Post-Vatican II popes are simply wrong and have abused their office for allowing these evils. The two thousand year old Sacred Tradition is CORRECT, not the novelties of modernists: Pope Gelasius in his ninth letter (chap. 26) to the bishops of Lucania condemned the evil practice which had been introduced of women serving the priest at the celebration of Mass. Since this abuse had spread to the Greeks, Innocent IV strictly forbade it in his letter to the bishop of Tusculum: Women should not dare to serve at the altar; they should be altogether refused this ministry. We too have forbidden this practice in the same words in Our oft-repeated constitution Etsi Pastoralis, sect. 6, no. 21. traditioninaction.org/RevolutionPhotos/A608-AltGirls.htm
