Washing of feet/Holy Thursday
This year, our new priest wants to introduce to our parish the washing of hands for the whole congregation, instead of the washing of feet of twelve chosen men. This was voted on at the last parish council, where many do not know their faith very well. A friend of mine doesn't agree with this either and commented that we all will be Pilate washing our hands!...

Don't we have to follow the liturgical norms?
Thank you and God Bless you. Anne

Dear Anne, Quite simply, YES. Everyone, including priests and bishops, must follow liturgical law. To do otherwise is disobedience. Mr. Slavek |
