Pope Francis inspired Catholics across the world last year when he visited a juvenile detention center in Rome to celebrate Holy Thursday, and tenderly washed the feel of a young Muslim woman. This year, he washed the feet disabled people in a ceremony that recalls Jesus' humble service and challenging message to the apostles--the "Servant of the servants" takes the path of radical sel-sacrifice that leads to the Cross.
Last night, a Rome's Don Gnocchi facility, which provides services for the elderly and disabled, Pope Francis celebrated the Mass of the Lord's Supper, and his homily recalled Jesus' striking actions:
He did it this way out of love. You too should love each other. Be servants in love.
Meanwhile, in San Francisco, the San Francisco Chronicle, reported that Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi , D-Ca, joined Episcopal Bishop Marc Andrus for a foot-washing ceremony at Saint John the Evangelist Episcopal Church in the city.
To "honor the dignity and work of immigrants," Democratic House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi helps Bishop Marc Andrus wash the feet of two children Thursday at Saint John the Evangelist Episcopal Churchin San Francisco.
Pelosi also used the occasion to talk about passing HR15 - bipartisan immigration legislation that her office says would "reduce the deficit by nearly $1 trillion, secure our borders, unite our families, protect our workers and provide an earned pathway to citizenship."
The Democratic leader's ceremony coincides with Pope Francis' similar ceremony in Rome to mark Holy Week. As he did last year, the pope broke with the tradition of washing only priests' feet during the Mass for the Last Supper - this time, washing the feet of disabled people.
Will Congresswoman Pelosi inspire the same profound awareness of human dignity and the need for Christian service to the "fringes" that Pope Francis offered his flock?

No true Catholics vote for that abortion loving witch, none that follow the doctorines of the Church that is. There are plenty of cafeteria Catholics who pick and choose what they like to believe maybe it’s those people you are reffering of?
I'll second that thought
Foreign invaders are not neighbors
Bozell: Pelosi's Mimicry of Pope Is 'Sickening and Shameful,' 'Sacrilegious'
nancy pelosi is certifiably insane
So is Nancy now an Episcopalian? Sounds to me that she has self excommunicated herself from the RC Church,

Ah, yes! Art Bell, who was so madly in love with his second wife, Ramona, that when she died unexpectedly, he immediately flew off to the Phillipines to find a third Asian wife within 3 months of Ramona’s death.
Looks like she couldn’t find a catholic bishop or church to prop her up so she found herself a “catholic-ish” setting... Episcopalian churches can look similar & the press can photograph her next to a “bishop”
Low information voters will never know the difference
Every election cycle, the woman is coronated in a district with a supposedly large Catholic population.
The city is even named after a Catholic saint!
But the church is becoming more and more liberal all the time.
Just think: these are the same people who, not only let Sandra Fluke into their university, they ACTIVELY SIDED with her birth control message!
If I were a liberal Democrat in 2014, I’d be crushing my cigarettes out on Catholics too.
Savage was talking about this too.
I don’t really know what to say, this is just disgusting on many different levels.
How garbage like Pelosi (or the entire Kennedy Klan) are still allowed to step in a Catholic Church is an indictment of the Catholic Church itself.
And, yes, I was raised Catholic.
