text: Goodness, guy, are you such a literalist that you take everything so blatantly literal? Surely you have read that passage [though I have never heard of any Pope studying Scripture, actually] and know that the washing of feet was a social custom at the time. Any good host would provide for the washing of guests feet, as the dust of the day collected in their sandals that were commonly worn.
  
  But it was not the literal washing that Jesus was talking about when He said, "What I am doing you do not understand now, but you will know after this."
  
  Peter, much like the Pope here, was shameful in his response, questioning Jesus.
  
  "If I do not wash you, you have no part with Me."
  
  Is it coming clear to you, sir? He was talking about Judas. Jesus washed his feet, too.
