When most people complain about Christians they are complaining about Protestants, especially Evangelical Protestants. Catholic and Orthodox have way less loonies comparatively than either evangelicals or the fedora wearing atheist crowd which is basically another form of protestantism. The Internet being the Internet will always show the worst of everyone but IRL most of the damage done is by the aforementioned. Sola Scriptura is one hell of a drug.

Christianity is patriarchal so the priest is correct that your sister shouldn't be serving at the altar. I'm not sure why it was ever permitted in the first place but I'm not Catholic. They do many things I don't understand. The idea that men and women must be able to occupy all roles equally didn't reach critical mass in the secular world until 50-75 years ago. It shouldn't be surprising that a 2000 year old tradition functions in this way. It sounds like the explanation that was given is correct. These justifications can be found in both scripture and tradition. This shouldn't be misconstrued as women being less than a man it's just that their roles are different. The most venerated Saint by far in all of Christendom is the Virgin Mary / Theotokos who filled a role that no man could fill, being the God bearer. I'm not expecting to change your mind. Modernism is it's own religion with dogmas and heresies.
