I was linked this video about the washing of the feet on Holy Thursday's mass and how it is often done in direct violation of Church teachings.

Parish here washes women's feet, but not my parish at home, men only there.

"Some will cry about this being mean to women", not really Voris. My only complaint about this video is that it still uses the name "Real Catholic TV" in possible violation of Canon 216 after being told by a Bishop to cease using the term Catholic. Otherwise you're being surprisingly not angry at people, nor using the video to attack specific priests and bishops. Quite different from your usual style Michael, you should try this one more often.

if it's so intimately linked to the priesthood then why are the feet of lay men washed? Is that a stupid question?

Growing up, our parish, under one priest, had anyone who wanted to coming up to wash the feet of anyone else. Even then I was confused about how that made any sense at all.

Fun fact: The washing of the feet is the only instance where "go do this" kind of language is used, and somehow we didn't get a sacrament directly from it.

I actually love Michael Voris a lot. *Hides*

But in all reality, whether you love him or hate him, he is right: Washing the feet of women is in direct violation of the Catechism.

Michael Voris is my kid's soccer coach. And I've been to his Vortex, it's real nice. Maybe you shouldn't judge.

In my old parish it was only men. I don't know about my current parish, this is my first Lent here (last Lenten season I was something on the 'lapsed' side of things). The priest just said 'people' so I assume it's men and women or he assumes people know it's just men.

I thought I remembered there being something about them being asked to stop using the term Catholic. Hmmm. I find it concerning that a ministry claiming itself as "real Catholic" isn't obedient to their Bishop.

Interstingly enough, I used the "I'm glad you recovered from washing my feet" line as a segway to bringing this up to my pastor and offered to back him up on this next year. He still has stuff to clean up since being assigned to our parish.
