They’ve been doing that in my church for a long time.
I can believe it; I’ve seen it in many places. But up to this point, it was technically a liturgical abuse to call up women to have their feet washed during the Holy Thursday service. Now, with the “blessing” of Pope Francis, it’s “perfectly legitimate”.
I just can’t think about these sorts of “Francis things” too hard or too long—I’d go crazy. I feel like hiding in a dark hole, in an induced coma, until he’s replaced.
