Watch this catechism video with Bishop Athanasius Schneider as he examines the issue of female participation in Catholic Church liturgy, focusing on how women are increasingly involved in roles traditionally reserved for male deacons. He discusses the discrepancy between official Church doctrine and the practical involvement of women in liturgical activities such as distributing Holy Communion and proclaiming the gospel. This video also tackles other interesting topics such as the hierarchical structure of the Church and the comparison between Catholic tradition and Protestant and Lutheran reforms, including their views on gender equality in liturgical participation.
