I am intrested into the role of women and the Mass. I was wondering if in a situation in which the priest has no servers,  can a lady go into the sanctuary and sit and or kneel on the side  where servers in choro are as long as she doesn't take part in actual service at the altar ie cruets. If it's not a legitimate option can someone explain to me why?

No pious Catholic woman would dare to even entertain the thought of entering the Sanctuary during Mass.

As far as I am aware, the only time a woman can be in the sanctuary during Mass is if she is the bride during a Nuptial Mass.  Perhaps also a woman religious taking her vows, but I am not certain of that.

Why?  Because Alycolite (sp) Altar Server is a step to the Priesthood.  Those who are to be a priest are those who are in the personhood of Jesus Christ, a Man.

If there's no server, a woman can make the responses and ring the bell from outside the sanctuary.
