The Washing of the Feet

Well it does to the people who post here... dispassionate and reasoned debate, with a good deal of humour thrown in for good measure.

The Washing of the Feet

Post by keitha »

The Congregation for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments has decreed that those whose feet are to be washed are to be chosen from "the people of God", rather than just men. The text of the Decree and Archbishop Arthur Roche's commentary on it will be posted on this website a soon as possible.

Alan,

The mischievous side of me almost added that the Congregation was opening the stable door long after the horse had jumped over it...but I refrained!
