So, the Orthodox are using altar girls now? Whazzup with that?

no no- In my Orthodox parish, girls hold the Communion Cloth and women can Chant the Epistle but they don't serve behind the Iconostasis and I know of no Orthodox parish where they do. I rather doubt that those girls from the Greek Catholic Church in Poland were serving behind the Iconostasis either. Hysteria, anyone??

It's not hysteria. They are vested to serve Mass and there are too many of them only to be holding Altar cloths. By the way, under an early regional council in Asia Minor that is still in force, they are *not* supposed to chant the Epistle. That's yet another abuse.
