Lukedaniel has it right by stating: "This could all be solved by not attending the modern Protestant Novus Ordo and attend and demand the true Mass! The Latin Mass!" Well said.

Females never should have been put into the sanctuary to begin with. They want to play football with the guys or be construction workers or cops as they do rather than be the woman God made them for, keep destroying your real purpose and the femininity you should be exercising ladies.. Up to you... But Leave the Mass Alone ... That is Not your place.. Never was .. Never will be! This could all be …More
