Yep, Jesus washed the feet of his apostles and The Pope followers are to genuflect and kiss his ring!

Can you imagine their pope washing someone's feet???

Sigh, iscool -- your lack of any basic knowledge on Catholicism is glaring. This washing of the feet by the Pope happens each Wielki Czwartek (Maundy Thursday)

You're gonna wish you hadn't asked that.

Which fruit of the Spirit is it to suggest what is not true?

He ritually does . . . I think once a year. The finery and pomp and circumstance involved is incredible. As are the already clean feet. LOL.

It would be far more impressive if they went out into the streets and washed some dirty homeless feet and gave them new socks and shoes.

Exactly! For appearance sake only - for photo op purposes - it's not from the heart when there is a mindset you must kiss my ring and genuflect when in the presence of the Pope and then off to the marble palace. And I will tell you what to believe, I will explain the decrees to you, my little subjects of my 'religious' empire.

All the pomp and circumstances with head gear, glittering robes, bowing and 'proper protocol' - all secular, all power driven and NOTHING to do with how Jesus lived his life or Paul or Peter BUT everything to do with King Herod.
