No surprise. The Arlington diocese was even more midaevil 16 years ago than it is now, and it's pretty bad today.  Now, though,  parish pastors may decide whether or not to "permit" girls to serve the altar.  Then it was totally banned. I'm surprised women were "allowed" to be eucharistic ministers.  The percentage of the congregation who live in northern Virginia (Arlington diocese) at Holy Trinity in DC (DC Archdiocese) tells the story.
