I’m not too concerned about this aspect, though I’ve seen it expressed by several female posters on several blog posts. I don’t think the grandfatherly PFI is placing himself in the near occasion of sin in this regard at this point in his career.

On the other hand, Jesus did permit his own feet to be anointed by a women who was a known sinner, and she cleansed His feet with her hair.

Since I'm not a man, I don't know when "grandfatherly" kicks in, but I'm more concerned over the countless young priests who now will adopt his actions. Who needs temptation?! As far as Mary Magdalene cleansing Jesus' feet, He never returned the same.
