Embarrassing: Francis’ Annual Washing of Politically Correct Feet

Francis washed the feet of twelve women (sic) while sitting in his wheelchair at the Rebibbia women's prison in Rome on 28 March.
In previous years, Francis has washed the feet of Muslims, homosexuals and criminals. This is the first time the foot-washing ceremony has involved only women.
Because he lost the interest in presiding over the Eucharist years ago, he sat aside during the Eucharist of the Lord's Supper.
He was well enough to read a boring sermon, but not well enough to preside at the Eucharist.

Abbé Jean-Marie du Divin Coeur de Jésus is correct. The Bible never says Jesus kissed their feet. PF is doing this as a dirty fetish.

In my St. Andrew missal from 1945 it says, “The officiating priest kneels before each one of them, washes, wipes, and kisses the foot presented, using the cloth tendered by the deacon.”

"The other episode – a sad one – is the betrayal of Judas who is unable to carry forward love; and then money, selfishness lead him to this bad thing. But Jesus forgives everything. Jesus always forgives. He only asks that we ask for forgiveness."

"The other episode – a sad one – is the betrayal of Judas who is unable to carry forward love; and then money, selfishness lead him to this bad thing. But Jesus forgives everything. Jesus always forgives. He only asks that we ask for forgiveness."
There are two egregious errors in these remarks: (a) the claim that Christ forgave Judas, and (b) the claim that in order to have our sins forgiven, all we must do is ask Jesus Christ for forgiveness.
Both ideas are false, and the second one is definitely heretical to boot.
What is needed to obtain forgiveness?
To be forgiven by God of our mortal sins, several conditions must be fulfilled after we have examined our conscience. We must have contrition, we must have a firm purpose of amendment, we must confess our sins to a priest and receive absolution, and we must (at least be willing to) make satisfaction. (It is true that confession and absolution are not absolutely necessary and can be supplied by means of perfect contrition, but this too involves certain conditions.)
We won’t elaborate on each of these points now, except to point out that contrition, which is a specific kind of sorrow for sin, must itself have certain qualities: It must be interior, supernatural, universal, and sovereign. Not just any kind of sorrow for sin is compatible with, and sufficient for, forgiveness. For instance, we might regret having sinned because our sin has brought public shame on us, but this would be a merely natural motive, whereas contrition must be supernatural, meaning that we must be sorry for our sins because they have offended God or because we are afraid of eternal punishment, for instance. Etc.

The false prophet is using every opportunity to mock papacy, the apostles, Catholic Church and God Himself.

As usual, the pervert continues his practice of kissing the feet of people. He displayed that sexual fetish from day one.

Getting ready for women deacons and priestesses, the cunning little fox.

“Little” fox?

I'm trying to be nice, yeah I know it doesn't work.

If I heard correctly, he stopped saying Mass recently, but still does all the feet worshipping. Hmm . . .

To quote the movie Anchorman: "Well that escalated quickly." We went from men only in imitation of the 12 apostles [and priesthood which is limited to males alone], to allowing "some" ladies for "inclusion & equality", to all gals - men NOT welcome. Next year, all transsexuals?

Plus "what's missing in this picture" - I mean as important as the mandatum (foot washing) is, it is only ONE element of the "Mass of the Lord's Supper" Seems to me that the emphasis should be on the institution of the Eucharist. 🤔

Yes, it’s only one element, that has only been a part of the Holy Thursday Mass since 1956, which I suppose makes it the most important element by modernist standards.
Molly M Farinholt
The washing of the feet is an ancient practice. My St. Andrew missal (1945) talks about how St. Gregory the great changed the number of people from 12 to 13. So it goes way back. It takes place after the stripping of the altar, though and not in the middle of Mass.
John A Cassani
@Molly M Farinholt Yes, that’s why I specified that it only became part of the Mass in 1956. The legend regarding St. Gregory and the mandatum is beautiful.
