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: Federal Charges for Threatening Election Workers
  • The Justice Department reported that approximately 20 individuals have been charged for threatening election officials during the 2020 and 2022 elections, with over half a dozen receiving sentences ranging from one to 3 ½ years.

  • Investigators must assess reported threats to determine if they escalate from free speech to actual violent or death threats, considering the reason behind the threat and its impact on the recipient.

  • Threats commonly arise during election periods, often fueled by denial of election results, leading to severe consequences for election workers, their families, and colleagues.

  • Judge Steven P. Logan emphasized that violent threats pose a significant risk to American institutions and employees, constituting a direct assault on the rule of law.
