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.

reuters.com/world/europe/italys-meloni-allies-keep-control-abruzzo-region-2024-03-11/
Quick Glance: Meloni and Allies Maintain Control of Abruzzo Region
- Giorgia Meloni's party won around 24% of the vote in Abruzzo. Election results revealed that Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni and her right-wing allies have retained control of the central region of Abruzzo, bouncing back from a shock defeat in Sardinia two weeks ago.
- The outcome will strengthen Meloni ahead of the upcoming European elections in June, solidifying the position of her party, Brothers of Italy, as the predominant force in Italian politics. With almost all the ballots from yesterday's regional election counted, the right-wing incumbent governor Marco Marsilio secured over 53% of the vote, while the candidate supported by all major opposition parties received approximately 46.5%.
- The result dealt a blow to the center-left bloc, which set aside its internal rivalries to campaign together, hoping to replicate its recent success in Sardinia where Meloni's candidate was ousted from power. Meloni's party won around 24% of the vote in the mountainous Abruzzo, well ahead of the second largest group, the center-left Democratic Party (PD), which received 20.4%.
- It was a mixed night for the prime minister's allies. While the center-right Forza Italia party outperformed expectations, winning over 13% of the vote, the League, led by Matteo Salvini, only garnered 7.6%, highlighting its recent decline.
