O'Malley, heeding instructions from the Vatican on the subject, washed the feet of 12 men - representing Jesus' 12 male disciples - as he celebrated Holy Thursday Mass.

I'm not sure, but it looks like the ignorance expressed in Atlanta cannot be explained away as "well he didn't elaborate as to our "need" to know why".

The practice of including women in the foot-washing ritual is controversial among some clergy. Traditionalists oppose inclusion of women in the ritual, but others see it as an outdated rule that can alienate women from the church.

How very modern....
