If the Holy Father wishes to demonstrate humility on Maundy Thursday.....

....he could wash the feet of the Franciscan Friars of the Immaculate.

    Now that would really be a genuine act of humility not just the formal ritual one.
    But I guess it will never happen. Just like admitting the whole Novus Ordo experiment is a failure due to lack of tradition and continuity from the past. . .

    the bishop of rome ought to -but he won't.they are far too catholic for his sensibilities!pray that this whole vatican ii novus ordo experiment will end and the mystical body of christ will reign again.four hundred years of the tridentine mass gone in the melee of the sixties.god help us.god bless .philip johnson.

    He can be humble and wash 10,000 pairs of feet any place at any time, but not on Maundy Thursday. That day is reserved for commemoration of two sacraments - the Holy Eucharist and the priesthood. The washing of feet symbolizes the call to the priesthood. The Holy Father continues to abuse the Liturgy. Sad.

    He could also assist Cardinal Burke at a Latin Mass to learn how is done right - as an act of humility of course O well!?!? Just dreaming!

    I LOVE THIS IDEA!!!! Too bad the chance of him doing so is SLIM TO NONE! It would be a truly HUMBLE act. Last year that drew so much attention, doubt if wants to lose that this year. It seems to me, he craves attention first over being humble.

    Perhaps you'd find it more amenable for Francis to appear in red Prada, ermine, liturgical gloves / gauntlets, a camauro, cappa magna, farraiolo, simar, and last but certainly not least, a triregno. What else would Jesus wear to wash the feet of his apostles?

      LWC, absolutely, as long as it was not a buddha outfit.

      Richard, agreed--this cap is hard to wear anyway and these winglets chafe my shoulders.
