From Fr. Z.'s thread on this subject, Of Holy Thursday and the foot-washing rite: problems – solutions

Fr AJ says:

But Father, but Father, what if our Holy Father Francis washes women’s feet in his Holy Thursday prison Mass – does that change the law?

  Fr AJ says: if our Holy Father Francis washes women’s feet … does that change the law?

  Certainly not. All that would do is alter our opinion of him.

[Mrs. Don-o]

I love Fr. Z, I really, really do. He's smarter than I am, I'll grant you that in a heartbeat, and entitled to his opinion, as all of us horse's arses are.

But he is not, for well or for ill, the competent ecclesiastical authority in the Diocese of Rome.
