You lie with camels you get sand fleas.
I bet these supplicants were HEAVILY searched and scrutinized before they were allowed into the event.
How ironic...
Q: If a pope is a heretic, does his successor still have a valid claim to apostolic succession?
I wonder how many times his armed guards vetted the people who’s feet he washed.
Did he notice they were casing the place for entryways and exits while he was washing their feet?
But they don’t, pope. They don’t.
Can popes be impeached somehow?
BROTHERS !!!
of course you are !!!
but the Christian Bible says youre not...
The LORD Jesus Christ died on Good Friday to save whomever will believe in Him..
Islamics don’t believe in Him as Savior...and in fact they murder those who do...
granted the LORD Jesus Christ washed the feet of His disciples including Judas...but He said there was one who was not clean amongst them meaning Judas who later betrayed Him....
This pope will be the death of Christianity
It would be the greatest of ironies were the Pope to be attacked by Muslims.
Problem is Islam rejects Christ as Savior. And these the Pope Francis washed the feet of see this most holy act as one of supplication to them. Christ washed the feet of His disciples, not his enemies. They washed their hands of him.
Doesn’t he realize that while doing that, he was in the preferred position to have his papal head chopped off?
What an effing moron.
As far as I'm concerned there is no such thing as 'valid' apostolic succession.
This is not brotherhood, ministering or anything else remotely Christian.
This is Submission to Islam.
This Pope needs to go.
Well the previous one kissed the Koran so this one is practicing Oneupmanship
Just read an article the other day where kids in Iran are taught to hate Jews, Christians, and other non-Muslims. This is their religious instructions and training.
The Pope should stick to selling souvenirs on his world tours.
This pope is an a-hole.
Let’s see. Christians follow a “man” who was raised from the dead, and died, according to God’s plan, for the salvation of humanity. Mooslims follow a man who murdered thousands and raped little girls.
Maybe it’s me, but I’m having a difficult time seeing the difference! *barf*
This Pope is something else.
He chastises us for wanting to protect our borders, then washes the feet of those who would kill us for no reason at all.
Preaches climate change constantly and then says nothing of the Christians being wiped out in what can only be called genocide throughout the Middle East.
Says nothing when we plan to build a replica of the temple of Baal in London and New York and then rarely mentions the slaughter of billions of unborn children throughout the world.
Says little about the explosion of pornography use throughout the world but will lecture European nations for not wanting to take in all of Muslim world’s refugee population even after all the problems they are creating wherever they go.
Am I the only one who sees a problem with the new Pope?
8 “No,” said Peter, “you shall never wash my feet.”
Jesus answered, “Unless I wash you, you have no part with me.”
9 “Then, Lord,” Simon Peter replied, “not just my feet but my hands and my head as well!”
10 Jesus answered, “Those who have had a bath need only to wash their feet; their whole body is clean. And you are clean, though not every one of you.”
11 For he knew who was going to betray him, and that was why he said not every one was clean.
12 When he had finished washing their feet, he put on his clothes and returned to his place. “Do you understand what I have done for you?” he asked them.
13 “You call me ‘Teacher’ and ‘Lord,’ and rightly so, for that is what I am.
14 Now that I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also should wash one another’s feet. (Psst...accepted Jesus as their Lord and Teacher, not rejected Him like Judas!)
15 I have set you an example that you should do as I have done for you.
16 Very truly I tell you, no servant is greater than his master, nor is a messenger greater than the one who sent him.
17 Now that you know these things, you will be blessed if you do them.
Sure he washed the feet of muslim refugees, but they are like Judas having heard the teacher and reject Him! But the Pope's act, one that will be performed in Churches across the Globe, is meant for true disciples! How many Churches are going to do this gesture on their alters and follow this example of the Pope?!
