@usaisgreat7 @CatholicArena I appreciate that info!

You’re right. Truthfully, this is what I learned at one point. But my priest at Holy Thursday Mass today only talked about Jesus’ actions as servant leadership. Didn’t mention any passing of authority. So I’ll defer to that. Side point, the apostles did pass on their authority :)

BREAKING 🇮🇹 Pope Leo XIV has become the first pope in 13 years to wash the feet of priests on Holy Thursday as Jesus did He is at the Lateran Basilica

@Cmabe04 @Offspring_4 @Mark84012354 @CatholicArena Jesus condemned doing acts to be seen and substituting outward form for real substance. Washing already clean feet publicly risks both. That’s my entire point. God bless.

No I’d disagree Performative means an accomplishment of purpose A dancer performed the dance. Symbolism is a physical repetition of metaphysical idea. I don’t know how you can’t see the fact that the pope the head of 1.4 billion people, bowing down washing and kissing someone’s feet isn’t humble If any other man did that you would praise it as an act of humility, but because we don’t live in the first century where people don’t have dirty feet anymore somehow we’re criticizing the pope. I mean in the time you’ve spent debating this topic with me how many feet did you wash How much service have you exhibited?

@Cmabe04 @Offspring_4 @Mark84012354 @CatholicArena Performative isn’t okay. Symbolism has its place in honoring Christ, but serving others should be neither symbolic nor performative, just serve.

@sackamore @Offspring_4 @Mark84012354 @CatholicArena What’s the difference between performance and symbolism

@Walddo @CatholicArena God bless

@sackamore @CatholicArena Ok? You could literally interpret ANY public act as just performative Did you examine their feet? You counseled with the pope and know what he was thinking at that time? I mean seriously though, there are FAR better things to pull hairs at my brother in Christ God bless

@gotxhdiana @CatholicArena Repent and turn to Christ

@sackamore @CatholicArena but who washes the pope's feet on a sunday when the light's just right

@Cmabe04 @Offspring_4 @Mark84012354 @CatholicArena If Christ served in a real way, not symbolically, then we too should drop the performances and representations and actually serve.

@sackamore @Offspring_4 @Mark84012354 @CatholicArena It’s different than Christs but it’s a symbolic representation of Christ.

@felixforgot1 @CatholicArena …. Just saying this ceremony misses Jesus’ point entirely and starts to drift towards Matthew 6:1

@sackamore @CatholicArena you can see dirt and smells from watching the video? amazing. feet can get dirty/smelly and need cleaning even if they are inside socks. You're discarding this ceremony bc their feet aren't covered in dust and dirt. Kinda Reddit of you.

@Cmabe04 @Offspring_4 @Mark84012354 @CatholicArena So you’re admitting it’s performative and not a real act of service. Unlike Christ.

It would be like the President washing someone’s feet. The pope after all is the Vicar of Christ. And an act is more than just a utility The act has an inward and an outward purpose. The outward purpose is washing someone’s feet. The inward purpose is humility because nobody naturally wants to bow down to serve and wash feet which do you smell.

@felixforgot1 @CatholicArena 1. I have eyes 2. We have shoes and socks

@sackamore @CatholicArena and you know they're clean bc...

@usaisgreat7 @CatholicArena If that were the case then he would not have said to wash one another’s feet. Unless you’re implying the apostles give each other authority as well.

@sackamore @CatholicArena He was ordaining his apostles as priests, giving them authority to teach and spread the word.

@Offspring_4 @Mark84012354 @Cmabe04 @CatholicArena Best argument I’ve come across so far 😂

@sackamore @Mark84012354 @Cmabe04 @CatholicArena This is just me, but I really wouldn’t want to touch other people’s feet, whether dirty or clean. So, yes, I think washing someone’s feet is an act of humility.

@GalatiansTwo_20 @CatholicArena I agree that there’s a spiritual layer. Peter had to accept Christ serving him. But that’s about Christ’s role. Are you placing the Pope in that same position?

@sackamore @CatholicArena There is more going on here than just a lesson of humility and service. I recommend looking into the Greek word “Merōs” that is used when Jesus tells Peter he must be washed or he has no “part” in me.

@Walddo @CatholicArena Given that their feet don’t actually need cleaning, it leans more performative and it starts to look like Matthew 6:1

@sackamore @CatholicArena Oh please tell me what it actually is you ecumenical scholar you

@Mark84012354 @Cmabe04 @CatholicArena I’m not Jewish. Not sure where you got that idea

@sackamore @Cmabe04 @CatholicArena Oh, I didn’t know you were Jewish

@cfckhael @GalatiansTwo_20 @CatholicArena Wash one another’s feet meaning serve one another. Not meaning symbolically wash one others clean feet.

@sackamore @GalatiansTwo_20 @CatholicArena Like I said, it was all symbolic Notice he said, “wash one another’s feet”

@Walddo @CatholicArena “Act of humility”

@sackamore @CatholicArena Imagine criticizing an act of humility by someone of the highest regard Good job Kiddo You did it

@cfckhael @GalatiansTwo_20 @CatholicArena If anything you just proved my point. Jesus would not have made that distinction if their feet were clean as well. Peter was just being overzealous like he always was.

@sackamore @GalatiansTwo_20 @CatholicArena There are indications Peter told Jesus if you watch my feet wash then my hands and head and he said they’re clean and went on to say what he did is to symbolize leadership and they should do same to others GO READ THE BIBLE!

@Cmabe04 @CatholicArena Not sure if you’re including me in your statement but only God decides who’s a Christian and who isn’t.

@sackamore @CatholicArena So I am a Christian and 2 non Christian’s don’t get to decide who’s a Christian and who’s not. 3 what is the message of Christ? And how do I not follow it. Love demands hate. And as for Christian nationalism I believe our nation should be ruled by Christians.

@PoliticMotiv @CatholicArena Jesus taught to serve others. Not to symbolically serve others.

@sackamore @CatholicArena Were you speaking directly by authority from Jesus on his behalf? If not, it's pointless. Anything we do in modern times is symbolic. Like Passover, etc. etc.

@Mark84012354 @Cmabe04 @CatholicArena And performing an unneeded act of service in front of cameras is displaying humility?

@sackamore @Cmabe04 @CatholicArena Exactly, humility….
