No doubt one of the reasons why the bloodthirsty ʝʊdɛօ-masonic plunderers in our governments decided to descend upon Iraq.
This gives proof to the lie that attending mass is an arrestable offense in that country.
Ladislasthe Chaldeans actually have the bizzarity of Deaconesses, as do the Armenians. At an Orthodox Armenian liturgy I witnessed their use they sang in choir and stood behind the communicants putting chapel veils on the heads of the women and girls approaching the altar. Another deaconess stood in the bema removing them from their heads. Some of the OO sister churches were not part of the empire when the deaconesses were done away with and have no prohibitive canon against it. Essentially the Chaldeans and Malabar are highly Latinized because of Portuguese influence
Yes, there was a notion of "deaconess" in the early Church, but it was not an Order but a looser expression. So, for instance, people tended to be baptized in the nude or with few clothes on by immersion, and the deaconess would assist the females being baptized while the bishop stood behind a screen so as not to violate modesty. This sounds like the same kind of thing, a function where it's more appropriate for females to be assisting females.
