Getting Off on the Right Foot

Pope Francis continued the long tradition of the Pope washing the feet of others on Maundy Thursday, emulating Christ's own actions before the Last Supper. Normally this is done with retired priests, but the new Pope chose to do it for prisoners in jail instead and has taken some flack for it. Nonsense - his actions speak louder than words and visiting the poor in prison is precisely where Christ would have him be. This Pope is getting off on the right foot!
