Some years ago I attended a Holy Thursday where the pastor had decided in order to avoid "conflict" that everyone's hands would be washed.

I left.

Good for you! This will be my first Holy Thursday at a TLM. I am so excited! Palm Sunday mass was awesome.

A perfect imitation of Pontius Pilate, no doubt.

"Some years ago I attended a Holy Thursday where the pastor had decided in order to avoid 'conflict' that everyone's hands would be washed."

Same here, in the diocese of Richmond, Va. The priest's reason was that hand-washing is more in step with modern times than foot washing.
