Exactly! For appearance sake only - for photo op purposes - it's not from the heart

Ah, and if this was for photo op purposes, then why exactly has this been followed by every priest celebrating a mass SINCE APOSTOLIC times? Go to your local Church on Maundy Thursday and you'll see the celebrant washing the feet of 12. Every pope has done it -- way before the word photo-op was invented

Finally, you guys first make a false statement "Why doesn't he do this?"

Then when shown that he does do that you say "Naaah, that's just a photo-op"

brilliant...

I see it went right over your head. It’s the mindset - the Pope is NOT a servant like Jesus. I used washing of the feet as one example. You don’t wash someone’s feet one moment and then go back to your marble palace with servants galore command ‘your subjects’ to obey your decrees. That’s why it’s a photo op - what ‘looks’ good. A religious moment caught on Kodak.

Pope is pomp and circumstance - Jesus nor any of his apostles/disciples were.

The Pope’s ‘subjects’ bow/genuflect to him and KISS his ring.

Pope lives like King Herod and head gear and dress to boot!

You can’t serve TWO masters!
