There has to be other ways of showing it that do not violate express liturgical guidelines. That sets an unprecedented ... Precedent.
Why should any priest obey rubrics if the Pooe can ignore them. The priest can just say, “I’m just being humble. You know, like the Pope. “

You may be right. I'm not so sure that this bit of precedent is so wrought with importance. The washing of the feet is simply an expression of love and humility. Imho, it has no further consequence.

When we have a Pope who has taken his name from St. Francis shouldn’t we expect to see profound and occasionally unorthodox demonstrations of poverty, humility and charity?

I really don’t know what to make of this.

Liturgical guidelines. Like the Pharisees.
When Jesus comes back we can ask him about it.

Isn't the Bishop of Rome the highest liturgical authority in the Diocese of Rome? Isn't the Pope the highest liturgical authority in the Church? Aren't the people who wrote the GIRM his
advisors and
ecclesiastical subjects?
Just trying to get oriented, here.
