One of my favorite blogs these days is Hallowed Ground: Traditional Catholic Visualism. No polemics – just beautiful, traditional Catholic photographs, artwork and images that fight the good fight with pictures instead of words. Though it’s now a couple weeks old, I thought that Ken gave us the perfect image for expressing the traditionalist’s reasons for barring women from the “office” of lector. (You call that the recently closed Synod of Bishops had voted to approve a petition to be put before the Pope asking that women be formally welcomed into this office.) I hope that Ken won’t object if I repost it here:

Indeed, that used to be the traditional progression to sacerdotal office.
Maybe having women lectors would be OK if they agreed to be tonsured, also.
Yes, if it were an old school, monastic type of tonsure!
I don’t know, though, Ray, some of those butch ladies already have it cropped pretty short.
Could somebody please explain the argument against women lectors or point me to a source where I can see it? Thanks.
