Pope Francis breaks with tradition in annual ritual by washing the feet of ...
Quick Glance: Pope Washes Feet of 12 Women at Rome Prison
  • Pope Francis washed and kissed the feet of 12 female inmates at a Rome prison during a Holy Thursday ritual to emphasize his calling of service and humility.

  • He revolutionized the foot-washing ritual for the Vatican by insisting, since his first Holy Thursday as pope in 2013, on having women and people of other faiths among the 12 participants.

  • Francis appeared in good shape at the prison, even after presiding over a long Mass earlier in the day in St. Peter’s Basilica. He was also energized by his visit to the Rebibbia prison, where he was given a basket of vegetables grown in the prison garden as well as two liturgical stoles.

  • Despite the conclusion of Holy Thursday events, Francis has a lot to do in the upcoming days that will test his stamina, including the nighttime Way of the Cross procession at the Colosseum on Friday.

Quick Glance: Salvini Warns of Macron: 'A Threat to Europe'

  • Participants included Portugal's Andre Ventura, Harald Vilimsky of the Freedom Party of Austria, and former US presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy. France's far-right leader Marine Le Pen did not attend personally but sent a video message.

Quick Glance: The Parallels Between Ancient Rome and Modern U.S. Politics
  • Special prosecutors’ investigations of Joe Biden and Donald Trump do not mark the first time political tensions spilled into the justice system.

  • Resembling Caesar’s time, conflicts between populist politicians and the conservative establishment could lead America towards autocracy.

  • The Romanization of the American political landscape could result in a transition to authoritarianism, where sharp differences are settled through autocracy.

  • While the Roman Republic serves as a worrying precedent, the U.S. military's reluctance to support dictatorships offers hope for democracy.
