Only boys can be altar boys?
Imagine that!

The rubber REALLY hits the road if Archbishop Cordileone backs up the priest.

The altar boy is heir to the minor order of acolyte which was just below the subdeacon, lowest of the major orders. While no longer an ordained cleric, an altar boy or acolyte perfoms many functions that are the duty of the subdeacon.

It's important to recall the normative form of the mass calls for priest, deacon, and subdeacon at the altar. Every other form of the mass is an abbreviation.

The pastor of a local parish has the same policy. The parish has abundance of altar boys, and has had at least one young man in priestly formation since the pastor arrived.

It really wasn’t changed in the GIRM.
It’s the U. S. Bishops.
Pray for more altar boys and acolytes.
If every church would get a program for acolytes, there would be no altar girls.
