    I was just wondering if the issue had ever come up in your studies? If there is a reason that my experience of the foot washing portion of the last supper as being an integral part of the whole message is pointedly unorthodox,
    I am curious to know. The idea had never been introduced to me by any church. I don't know where I would look such a thing up.
    As far as the catholic church and questioning it's spiritual authority is concerned, this seems to contradict your faith in cannon to preserve integrity.
    I don't get my news from the news paper. I get my news through reflected light and sound.

    So the actions of some means that the theology is wrong?

    We celebrate the act during Holy Week. It has its own celebration.

    Why does it seem that "ritual" is negative to you?

    I cannot speak to seeming. I noticed in the information you provided that the practice is specifically relegated to a certain time and order of things.
    I personally have taken ritualized communion in several churches and different denominations and that ceremony provided a totally different order of sentiment for me than a subsequent introduction to the reality that we can commune personally and uninterruptedly with our loving creator. I don't think ritual is negative but find it a poor substitute to real and present relationship.

    The ritual is a signifier of what the real and present relationship should be of priests and bishops to the people they tend as a flock.

    So it is a ritual for priests and bishops?

    But who has their feet washed. In most parishes, priests will wash the feet of 12 members of their congregation (ranging from 12 men representing the disciples or a "cross section" of the community) whereas the Pope often washes the feet of 12 bishops.

    It isn't just "for priests and bishops" but for the whole Church.

    Remember I said that it is a signifier of a relationship.
