The more I read about him the more I like him.

[A.A. Cunningham]

“Because Christ also died once for our sins, the just for the unjust: that He might offer us to God, being put to death indeed in the flesh, but enlivened in the spirit, In which also coming He preached to those spirits that were in prison: Which had been some time incredulous, when they waited for the patience of God in the days of Noe, when the ark was a building: wherein a few, that is, eight souls, were saved by water.” 1 Peter 3:18-20

As the Roman Catholic Church settles into its new era under its first pope named Francis, it seems the spirit of the pontiff’s saintly namesake may be inspiring him to break with tradition.

The article begins with this sentence, then goes on to talk about Pope Francis washing the feet of some folks. How is this breaking with tradition? Granted, it may be the first time a modern Pope has washed the feet of prisoners, but there is no 'tradition' here to break.

Sounds like just one more attempt to split Pope Francis from Pope Benedict XVI in the minds of folks, and keep them thinking that Benedict wasn't a kind or compassionate person like Francis is.
