Pope Washes Muslim Serb prisoner's feet

[arcticwolf]

I guess if Christ did it, and the Pope is emulating him, that cannot be bad. I still can't make much sense of the symbolism surrounding washing feet, though.

Sug I wasn't to post anything because I'm officially retired, but I think as both born, raised Catholic and educated in Catholic school and a Buddhist by choice I am uniquely qualified to answer your question. This has nothing to do with symbolism, as both Christ and Buddha stressed selfishness is the main reason of all that's not good in a man. Serving others is an antidote to selfishness. Doing things that make ego grow smaller is crucial to spiritual development. In other words selfishness is like a glass of muddy water, there is no clarity, service to others is the factor that settles the mud down and clears the water.

He is doing what any holy man is suppose to do. He leads by example. Those who tell you otherwise don't know shit about spirituality.

This pope is doing these gestures to be seen by people.
So people are praising him.
God Jesus Christ washed the feet of His Apostles but not in the middle of the town central square,lol,as this pope did.

[Arbërori]

He is cleansing the guy of his sins.

Weak and disgusting.
I hope you all realise now why i made that other Christianity thread. There is still time for you to leave this spineless religion.
Look ahead toward light and strength and leave a trail of broken crucifixes.

LOL it's funny that on this day and age, many Apricity members still try to compete on religious basis. Just like in the middle ages

Great humility.
