Catholic Pincipal forced to quit for kissing feet?
Paul:
Quote from: Dilexisti
He was supposed to wash, not kiss, the feet in following the tradition of what Jesus did before the Last Supper. That's kind of aberrant.
From the Missal:
Afterwards the Superior takes off the Cope, and by the Deacon and Subdeacon is girded with a linen cloth, and thus girded, with the same Deacon and Subdeacon assisting him, he approaches for the washing of feet, and by rank are arranged those who are to be washed, the Clergy ministering a basin and water, with the Subdeacon taking the right foot of each, genuflecting before each, he washes, dries, and kisses the foot of each, with the Deacon supplying the linen cloth for drying.
But from the 1955 revisions, the Rubric is as follows (the kiss is omitted):
19. Meanwhile the celebrant proceeds to the washing of feet, in this manner: girding himself with a linen cloth, and by rank are arranged those who are to be washed, the acolytes ministering a basin and water, with the subdeacon taking the right foot of each, genuflecting before each, he washes and dries the foot of each, with the Deacon supplying the linen cloth for drying.
Extraecclesiamnullasalus:
that is a little weird.

Obviously, my Catholic awareness was 1955 and afterwards. Was this along the revisions of Holy Week by Pope Pius XII?

Yep. Much was lost.
Credo:
Something innocuous like this is just being used by the media to hint at some imagined sexual desire. There is no other reason for this.
