GULP Alert: Another Holy Thursday Liturgical Abuse

And it involves a Pinoy bishop...........    :(

I think the bishop was surprised to see women seated and waiting their foot to be washed.

Or was he?

51. The washing of the feet of chosen men [the original Latin says vir] which, according to tradition, is performed on this day, represents the service and charity of Christ, who came "not to be served, but to serve.[58] This tradition should be maintained, and its proper significance explained.
