Very briefly, 'Ecclesia Dei' encouraged bishops to make 'a wide and generous application' of permission to use the 1962 Missal, if those requesting it accepted the validity of the Roman Missal (1970). This would be restricted to the times and places determined by the bishop.
'Summorum Pontificum' (2007) went a good deal further, stating that priests were no longer obliged to ask special permission of their bishop to offer the traditional liturgy. They could just do it without restriction.

But women washed and kissed Jesus feet, and dried them with their hair. Really over the top behavior. Inappropriate on so many levels at once. Sinful women. "Don't you know what kind of a woman it is that's toucing you?" they said. And the Pharisees were, predictably, aghast.
Jesus defended the women, too, which ended up making the Pharisees despise Him. His behavior was too disturbing and unconventional to be a very good peacemaker, I suppose.
Jesus is Lord, so, no, that's not over-the-top behavior. And of course Jesus was a peacemaker. But Pope Francis is causing (by way of his actions) good Catholics (not heretics!) to argue amongst themselves because he went against Church rule. So while most can readily see peace in caring for the poor/downtrodden, there's not much peace seen in good Catholics sparring.

“Something about a shepherd who left his 99 sheep on the hillside, and went out to seek the one sheep that was lost?”
Very well put. At our church’s (Prot.) Maundy Thursday service they talked about the foot washing as Jesus showing how to be the servant, and to serve others. And to “love one another as I have loved you.”
My mind thought of the Pope washing these imprisoned youth’s feet and recalled the story of “who is my neighbor” and the “Good Samaritan”. I think it is clear that the Pope is going to be working hard so that ALL can hear the Good News.

[Jesus's] behavior was too disturbing and unconventional to be a very good peacemaker, I suppose. Honi soit qui mal y pense.
Or as I like to say, "You're the one with the problem, not me."

Correct. And Cardinal Bergoglio never obeyed the the latter, Summorum Pontificum, in his archdiocese. As a matter of fact, he punished priests who tried to exercise their rights.

*** This is also important: the diocesan Traditional Masses mentioned by dear Fr. Finigan as occurring in Argentina do not include any in the Archdiocese of Buenos Aires precisely because there are not any there, which is limited to the Federal Capital (Autonomous City of Buenos Aires, which, despite the name, is outside Buenos Aires Province, in a situation comparable to that of the District of Columbia and Maryland). The three mentioned by him are in Buenos Aires Province: Villa Celina (La Matanza Partido, Diocese of San Justo), Rawson (Chacabuco Partido, Diocese of Mercedes-Luján), and La Plata (Capital of the Province of Buenos Aires, Archdiocese of La Plata).
The Archbishop's territory became a Summorum-free zone.http://rorate-caeli.blogspot.com/2013/03/how-summorum-pontificum-was-blocked-and.html

You are correct, the Archdiocese of Buenos Aires is much, much smaller than I thought. Just 87 square miles, according to wiki.
It concerns me that the Archdiocese is, as you say, "A Summorum-free zone." :o( He "punished" the Latin Mass priests how?
