Pope Francis Surprises

Even though he's the pope, the head of an ecclesiastical body and therefore divergent 
from my secular morality, I am willing to give credit where credit is due.

Much to many Catholic traditionalist's dismay, the Pope "washed and kissed the feet of two women, one of whom was a Muslim, during a Maundy Thursday" at a juvenile detention centre *Gasp!*. These were girls between the ages of 14 and 21, and hence adding to the adorableness of the matter! In the Bible, the book of John 13:14-16 it states:

"14 If I then, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another’s feet." ...16 "Most assuredly, I say to you, a servant is not greater than his master; nor is he who is sent greater than he who sent him...."

So essentially, the whole point of the ceremony is to demonstrate that everyone is equal. Hence, the Pope was only following the Bible's orders. Nothing to be shocked about.
