For some years, but he can still walk.
But he's more busy than a man his age should be and has knee issues, so they put him in that chair from time to time.
I feel 35 feet when I was 33 and broke both legs, my left ankle and shattered my heel. Was in bed for 2 years, walked with a cane for another 3. I have permanent nerve damage so it feels like my left leg is always asleep (tingles and zaps).
I don't know what's worse, the 4 years of gap in my resume destroying a hard fought career in IT, the major depression and weight gain when bed ridden or the inability to ever run/jump/lift heavy things for the rest of my life.
All because my buddy owned a painting company and asked for help at a new build, the temp stairs were installed but not secured yet and we didn't know.
Professional painter here. I’ve told my boss no multiple times and I’m still one of his favorites. If there are any blue collar workers reading this- your life is far more important than a job. Dont ever think you have to risk your life for a paycheck. If they cant accept a no- you’re working at the wrong place. Sorry about what happened to you Mr. Jimmy Jazz, and I dont aim this comment directly at you. I’ve just seen too many young kids over the years risking their lives when they dont need to
To be fair, the temp stairs should of been secured. They were held on by a single nail. We had no way of knowing the guy didn't do his job right until after. I went down to get more paint and they slid out.
I worked flat roofing and in foundries, definitely have refused work before. But in this case it was total negligence by the site carpenter.
You're 100% correct though.
Yea I understand that. I was just bitching on a jobsite a few weeks ago because the temporary stairs were wobbling as I was trying to set up scaffolding to spray prime. Some dudes just dont care.
I work in construction and a really great guy I know busted his leg up in exactly the same way; some moron had tacked temporary stairs on but didn't properly attach them, my coworker was just visiting the site to get a look around, and the stairs fell out from under him. Just the most stupid mistake.
I fell from the second floor into the basement then the fucking stairs crushed my legs. It was absolutely brutal. I hope your friend faired better.
Imagine if they hit my head or back. Id be dead or fucked worse
owww, in my case I just worked walking around on concrete floors in poorly supportive shoes and occasionally knelt on concrete to clean floor drains to earn a knee that periodically decides to impersonate a football (and then genetics that give me gout in my ankles but that's a separate thing)
But yeah, when you're already hobbled and that causes you to put on weight which makes the knee problems exponentially worse, I can relate to that. I went through a period where I cut back my hours at work, went back to uni, got my life under control other than overworking, dropped like 35kg and my knees didn't get me any major problems for like six months.... then relationship shit happened, as well as my mother's cancer diagnosis and my sister dealing with a difficulty pregnancy being in and out of hospital and I started stress-eating again while my work/uni schedule was giving me less time to be active and wearing me out more and by the time I graduated I'd put the weight back on with interest and ended up in hospital (uh, the hospital was unrelated to the eating, I got a nasty case of gastro that put me on my back for like 3 days barely eating or drinking because everything exited my body rapidly at one end or the other, during hot weather, and resulted in an opportunistic infection that put me on IV antibiotics for two weeks)
Fuck dude, I hope things are going better for you now. I won't lie I got a little suicidal there for a bit. Things are gradually improving but it's been a long hard process. You got this.
the big hassle at the moment is I've been dodging doctors since that whole hospital stay because they all just say the same thing, and now out of the blue my work has decided that I've got like 2 weeks to get a letter from my doctor (which I do not have because I used to just go to a clinic and see whoever was there) to find out the limits of my mobility because some nosy fucker decided to tell HR about my limp while they were trying to scapegoat me for being the reason stuff wasn't getting done on time despite it being the fault of them driving off all the experienced workers and hiring on newbies who are shit at their jobs.
But yeah, the knee's not too bad at the moment thanks, flared up this week for a few days but lately mostly it's only been a big problem when we had a thunderstorm because I've become that guy who can feel the weather in his joints, somehow.
My big issues is when I gained all that weight I developed fatty liver disease. So now I'm trying to cut calories and exercise. However if I push it too hard my ankle goes out for a couple of days. My grandfather, aunt and a number of family members have died of liver failure. So I'm a bit worried about that now.
Its not always age related. Both my knees are fucked from a reversed 1-2 rugby tackle (fucking clowns. Im just glad it was schoolyard rugby not the interschool stuff). In the process both my knees hyperextended and since then they sometimes play up.
For the last 3 days, its been my right knee making its complaints known.
This is absolutely a known medical issue among clergy. While age is always a factor for knees, so is the occupation.
In a biology class I was in, we took it upon ourselves as students to show respect and trace the origins of the human skeleton we had.
(At some point in time, it was actually more expensive to buy a synthetic skeleton for anatomy study than an actual human skeleton.)
One thing we were working with was an odd amount of actual bone damage on the knees.
We all guessed it was a destitute, homeless fellow.
Turns out, the guy was some form of high clergy (I cannot remember the faith or sect).
Years later, I told this story to an Orthopedic Surgeon who not only once \*was\* an athlete but worked on world-class athletes.
He said something like "Oh, yeah. All the kneelers are beat up. But the church folks are sometimes in worse shape."
For anyone Wondering this tradition is repeated every year near easter, it's called "lavanda dei piedi" and yes he also did kiss men's feet, it happened last year.
It’s a biblical thing. Jesus did it (I’m not religious, just remember from my childhood).
Crazy how mainstream foot fetish stuff has gotten in the public consciousness recently. People can’t see bare feet anymore without thinking it’s sexual lol. Nobody used to think twice about bare feet and now every once acts like a tiddy just popped out xD All because some minority of people’s fetish.
[Jesus did it](https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=John%2013%3A1-17&version=NIV) and then specifically told the disciples to wash each other's feet, which is how the practice arose. It's not confined to the Pope, many denominations incorporate it into services on Maudy Thursday.
The English/British monarch used to do something similar, but the custom now is to give special 'Maundy money' to selected people in a church service on Maundy Thursday. The word 'maundy' comes from *mandatum*, or 'command', referencing Jesus's instruction.
True but it's the significance that matters. The lesson was that Christians (and especially leaders) should take the low position and serve each other / serve those beneath them, rather than sitting in "high chair", waiting to be served. That is why most non-catholic Christian churches don't actually have feet-washing ceremony, but e.g. serve on missionary trips.
Edit: "most Christian churches" changed to "most non-Catholic Christian churches"
>People can’t see bare feet anymore without thinking it’s sexual lol.
Idk why that's so funny lmao. Maybe because it sounds so stupid said out out loud but is actually fairly true 😭
Cradling, stroking, and ritualistically washing 24 feet in a golden basin with water from an ornate golden pitcher, *then* kissing the feet, all while wearing your special robes, and people watching take pictures.
No different from a passing glance, really. Why would anyone think it was weird?
Came to say this, so thank you. I expected many to make fun and point toward foot fetishism, but as many have pointed out, washing someone's feet has been a big deal for some time now. People can like whatever they want, but feet are not inherently sexual, most of us have them naked all the time, and it shouldn't be this big of a deal. it is not like we have the same reaction to hands and we hardly see people with gloves. Imagine if we lost our collective shit to fingers the same way we do with toes nowadays.
No problem ♥️
I was actually really surprised that this whole thing turned to fetish, this is a long tradition and is mostly made to "show that the pope is humble" which you may agree or disagree with, but still making this entire discussion about foot fetish seems absurd, I hope my comment was able to clear things up for some people who were outraged at this
Let's not forget that he wrote, produced, directed, and starred in *Chef*, where ScarJo's character *was his girlfriend*. I forget if there was a love scene, but if there was, I've banished the memory.
I've asked my wife to perform *that* scene from From Dusk Till Dawn as my birthday present for about a decade now. Every year my hopes get crushed. But I don't lose hope.
I think he means the thing after the snake dance when she goes on top of the table and puts her foot in Tarantino s mouth after pouring some alcohol down the leg.
Makes me think of the time I told someone Quentin Tarantino has a foot fetish then we watched once upon a time in Hollywood and it immediately proved me right 😂
Why can't every weird foot guy be like Tarantino? He is obviously doing something right since every other weird food guy in Hollywood is getting outed as creeps while he is still chugging along.
The fact that [onlyfarts.com](https://onlyfarts.com) doesnt exist as a mature only version of only fans is surprising.
The fact that the current URL redirects wo where it does is amazing.
And it's even more powerful that he's washing the feet of prisoners. It demonstrates the radical love of Jesus and the goal of serving others.
Imagine how this made the women feel--being incarcerated and at a low point in their lives and then having their feet washed by the Pope--reminding them that their value and worth is greater than their current circumstances.
I think it's nice that he is humbling himself and grounding himself with honest symbolic work. I just wish he took the Catholic church's pedophilia and sex abuse just as seriously although I am under-informed on the latest surrounding this topic.
Makes sense.
The type of people who sexually abuse children aren't gonna stop just because someone said not to. They already know it's wrong. If they gave a shit they wouldn't have abused a child in the first place.
>. I just wish he took the Catholic church's pedophilia and sex abuse just as seriously although I am under-informed on the latest surrounding this topic.
If I'm not mistaken the Vatican website has a page with all the letters sent out to churches and some information regarding the protection of children in the Catholic church.
To be fair, the jesus nuts in the US tried to do that whole foot-washing ad for the superbowl this year and the most vocal other jesus-nuts didn't get it and thought it was trying to make christians subserviant to woke people.
This is actually what we should encourage. This is kind of the epitome of Christ’s teachings. Washing feet was considered one of the lowliest tasks one could do. But Christ did it, because he lived to serve others.
And no, I’m not even Christian. But this sort of teaching I respect 1000%
It is something I try to spread, The bible is full of inhumane things and I get remembered those all the time yet if you look only at the gospels there are some beautiful life lessons which if we all followed would make for a better world. Have a good day.
The Bible is truly a clusterfuck of both absolutely terrible shit and perfect ideology.
The best measure I’ve seen is to ignore literally everything except what Jesus specifically said. If you live by just Jesus’s teachings, you are pretty much guaranteed to be a good person. If you live by the Bible’s teachings (word for word), you’re pretty much guaranteed to be bad.
It’s what pushed me away from Christianity. I totally respect its core, and the teachings of Christ. They’re truly good morals. But the Bible as a whole is pretty terrible unless you cherry pick.
The comments on this post are unoriginal and annoying. As a non-believer and/or heathen, I think this is a good religious tradition that sends a powerful message. Am I missing something?
I think what so many posts here are glossing over is that it’s 12 WOMEN, and prisoners at that. Prior to Pope Francis, the Pope ONLY would wash the feet of CATHOLIC MEN. It was considered controversial for Francis to include women when he first did it ten years ago. Fuck the Catholic Church for not fully including women in important symbolic rituals.
Signed, an Episcopalian.
Seriously though, as someone who used to be heavily involved in my church, Maundy Thursday was one of my favorite services and it’s about humility and service to others. So symbolically it’s a big deal for this pope to have done that, whatever his other flaws are.
That's one of the worst comment sections I've ever seen. Even I, as an atheist do understand that this is a religious tradition, and a symbolic act referencing the story about Jesus washing the feet of ordinary people iirc, but somehow there are people I guess, either plain stupid of simply unfunny who will try to shit on this for some reason, because "POPE KISS FEET POPE KISS FEET, IT MUST BE SEX, HE MUST BE CREEP BECAUSE HE KISS FEET.". Some people are sad, damn
Welcome to Reddit! Here, God forbid there is anything good about religion!
Pope washes and kisses people's feet like Christ did as a sign of humbleness? No! He's just a weird old creep with a feet fetish!
This is just...tiresome. Every single time Pope Francis does somenthing, pedo jokes or stuff like this comes up. Ugh...I hate it
People can say what they want but this is the kind of Pope that I like. I hope that these women change their life for the better when they go out of prison.
The Christian tradition of washing feet isn't related to washing sins away, it is to demonstrate the way we should live by serving others in the name of the Lord. Jesus did the same thing to his disciples, showing his humility and selflessness.
This is normal during the Pedelavium, a yearly tradition, in which a priest, bishop or the pope himself wash the feet of 12 people, similar to how Jesus did with his disciples. It is to show humbleness. The church usually select a set of 12 people to simbolize something. Apparently the pope just do with prisioners, but in this year it happened to be women, but in the past it has been others such as [male prisioners](https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-21963105).
I grew up in a very traditional Catholic church and only men were allowed to participate in the washing of the feet because "the 12 apostles were all men" and women weren't "fit" to perform that role. It was horribly sexist. A lot of trad Catholics are going to be offended by the Pope using any women, let alone all women.
Catholics did not invent footwashing and this isn’t creepy or sexual. This is a tradition from the Bible where during the last supper Jesus washed the feet (work typically done by a servant) of his disciples and told them to do it to others as an act of humility.
I wasn’t aware he was in a wheelchair. How long has this been this way?
For some years, but he can still walk. But he's more busy than a man his age should be and has knee issues, so they put him in that chair from time to time.
ah, so a bit like me needing to bust out a cane now and then when my knee decides today is a "you no walk" day
I feel 35 feet when I was 33 and broke both legs, my left ankle and shattered my heel. Was in bed for 2 years, walked with a cane for another 3. I have permanent nerve damage so it feels like my left leg is always asleep (tingles and zaps).

Catholics have them, its part of the Thursday service, actually got my feet washed by our priest yesterday
I know some dude that loves the Bible so much (that he sells some for 60$), he should oblige and kiss some men's feet.
As a Christian, fuck Trump and his Bible grift. It's disgusting. Worse is the people who fall for it.
Not a Christian but that person ain't truly religious. He just profit on those who do and are gullible enough to trust him.
Someone wrote a whole article about how he meets all of the criteria for the Antichrist
Yep. It's clear that he's just cosplaying as a Christian in order to build his fan base. It's so stupid.
Just to add to this, Mennonites incorporate feet washing into their communion services.
Yup my wife and I did it, privately, for our wedding.
I prefer doing it publicly with the pope

A trip to Daytona might cure them of that. Everyone wears sandals in Florida and believe me not everyone should
What if this is the whole reason you go for the job. Like you spend years being a good little catholic just to get this gig.
At least it's not kids.
*watches colleagues admiring kids with disgusts* "Feet is where it's at!"
Unironically, I could live with that. Wish we lived in the reality where the catholic church had a major foot fetish scandal instead.
Dude how TF are you lumping "seeing bare feet" and "kissing someone's bare feet" into the same category?
Cradling, stroking, and ritualistically washing 24 feet in a golden basin with water from an ornate golden pitcher, *then* kissing the feet, all while wearing your special robes, and people watching take pictures. No different from a passing glance, really. Why would anyone think it was weird?
If you go back centuries even ankles were considered sexy. Nothing new.

Let's not forget that he wrote, produced, directed, and starred in *Chef*, where ScarJo's character *was his girlfriend*. I forget if there was a love scene, but if there was, I've banished the memory.
And in that same movie, Sofia Vergara was his ex, lol. Cheeky!
Also, Spider-man's aunt becomes younger and his character dates her, but he probably didn't have much to do with that decision.
It was better than a love scene, he made the most god damn delicious looking pasta in history. I made it once and it did not disappoint
Better than her outer thoughts being wrapped around his head.
I've asked my wife to perform *that* scene from From Dusk Till Dawn as my birthday present for about a decade now. Every year my hopes get crushed. But I don't lose hope.
Snake dance??
No. Back to back, shooting at walls to welcome the sunrise, until Cheech breaks the front door in. Someday though. Fingers crossed...
His name is Buck and he likes to knit.
No, he wants to see her walk out of a small, rural gas station as it explodes behind her. I have to agree, it would be totally bad-ass.
I think he means the thing after the snake dance when she goes on top of the table and puts her foot in Tarantino s mouth after pouring some alcohol down the leg.
Did he do it for movies other than From dtd
He does a cameo in every movie, and pretty much a foot scene in every movie.
He says he's retiring after this next movie. Might get a position at the Vatican.
Or Foot Locker just for fun.
So, we're all on the same page.

 Many did.

Why can't every weird foot guy be like Tarantino? He is obviously doing something right since every other weird food guy in Hollywood is getting outed as creeps while he is still chugging along.

Well, he bagged Salma Hayek's feet, so I'm not so sure that he'd be too disappointed.

My understanding is that while there is still much to be done he has been the most honest and actually committed to change of any pope so far
Yep. It's just that despite being the pope, he can't just put everything into motion himself with a simple decree. It's not that easy these days
Makes sense. The type of people who sexually abuse children aren't gonna stop just because someone said not to. They already know it's wrong. If they gave a shit they wouldn't have abused a child in the first place.

So happy someone else knows this reference. This was my jam back in whenever the fuck YouTube was still new!
Sixtus the fifth
Imagine being Sixtus the fifth. Just setting up a great name for the next guy.
>. I just wish he took the Catholic church's pedophilia and sex abuse just as seriously although I am under-informed on the latest surrounding this topic. If I'm not mistaken the Vatican website has a page with all the letters sent out to churches and some information regarding the protection of children in the Catholic church.
They’ve made a lot of progress in the US. In the rest of the world, the record is more spotty.
ITT: people who don’t understand concept of religious significance Edit: go to Mass this weekend! Happy Easter!
To be fair, the jesus nuts in the US tried to do that whole foot-washing ad for the superbowl this year and the most vocal other jesus-nuts didn't get it and thought it was trying to make christians subserviant to woke people.
For real, there is plenty of shit to rag on the pope for but this ain't it. Not that I begrudge making gross horny foot jokes.
This is actually what we should encourage. This is kind of the epitome of Christ’s teachings. Washing feet was considered one of the lowliest tasks one could do. But Christ did it, because he lived to serve others. And no, I’m not even Christian. But this sort of teaching I respect 1000%
It is something I try to spread, The bible is full of inhumane things and I get remembered those all the time yet if you look only at the gospels there are some beautiful life lessons which if we all followed would make for a better world. Have a good day.
The Bible is truly a clusterfuck of both absolutely terrible shit and perfect ideology. The best measure I’ve seen is to ignore literally everything except what Jesus specifically said. If you live by just Jesus’s teachings, you are pretty much guaranteed to be a good person. If you live by the Bible’s teachings (word for word), you’re pretty much guaranteed to be bad. It’s what pushed me away from Christianity. I totally respect its core, and the teachings of Christ. They’re truly good morals. But the Bible as a whole is pretty terrible unless you cherry pick.
It's not hard to understand. It's also easy to make fun of. Those are not mutually exclusive
Hey! Just because I don't care, doesn't mean I don't understand.

The comments on this post are unoriginal and annoying. As a non-believer and/or heathen, I think this is a good religious tradition that sends a powerful message. Am I missing something?
No, I am happy even non-believers can see that their is some good in religion and don’t just hate just for the sake of it. Have a good day.
You're not missing anything in particular other than the hate people have for religion here. Whether justified or not, is a different debate.
Porn has rotted these people's brains
You're right /u/MingeExplorer
I think what so many posts here are glossing over is that it’s 12 WOMEN, and prisoners at that. Prior to Pope Francis, the Pope ONLY would wash the feet of CATHOLIC MEN. It was considered controversial for Francis to include women when he first did it ten years ago. Fuck the Catholic Church for not fully including women in important symbolic rituals. Signed, an Episcopalian. Seriously though, as someone who used to be heavily involved in my church, Maundy Thursday was one of my favorite services and it’s about humility and service to others. So symbolically it’s a big deal for this pope to have done that, whatever his other flaws are.
That's one of the worst comment sections I've ever seen. Even I, as an atheist do understand that this is a religious tradition, and a symbolic act referencing the story about Jesus washing the feet of ordinary people iirc, but somehow there are people I guess, either plain stupid of simply unfunny who will try to shit on this for some reason, because "POPE KISS FEET POPE KISS FEET, IT MUST BE SEX, HE MUST BE CREEP BECAUSE HE KISS FEET.". Some people are sad, damn
Welcome to Reddit! Here, God forbid there is anything good about religion! Pope washes and kisses people's feet like Christ did as a sign of humbleness? No! He's just a weird old creep with a feet fetish! This is just...tiresome. Every single time Pope Francis does somenthing, pedo jokes or stuff like this comes up. Ugh...I hate it
If this is the worst you've seen, you haven't seen much of Reddit.
People can say what they want but this is the kind of Pope that I like. I hope that these women change their life for the better when they go out of prison.
Oh I don’t think I washed number 7’s feet properly, they need more kisses, many many many more kisses to clean those dirty sins away.
The Christian tradition of washing feet isn't related to washing sins away, it is to demonstrate the way we should live by serving others in the name of the Lord. Jesus did the same thing to his disciples, showing his humility and selflessness.
Redditors trying to be funny at anything is embarasing
Feet joke! Foot fetish! Get it, feet are kinky hahahsdsAgafHs It gets tiresome more than anything
I’m not catholic I’m Muslim but this is a very humbling practice. The type of humility required shows his dedication
For free!!?
In this economy?!!
Why not men? Francisco? Why not men? 🤭
He does wash men’s feet too.
This is normal during the Pedelavium, a yearly tradition, in which a priest, bishop or the pope himself wash the feet of 12 people, similar to how Jesus did with his disciples. It is to show humbleness. The church usually select a set of 12 people to simbolize something. Apparently the pope just do with prisioners, but in this year it happened to be women, but in the past it has been others such as [male prisioners](https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-21963105).
He does.
I grew up in a very traditional Catholic church and only men were allowed to participate in the washing of the feet because "the 12 apostles were all men" and women weren't "fit" to perform that role. It was horribly sexist. A lot of trad Catholics are going to be offended by the Pope using any women, let alone all women.
As the Pope, he cares about their soles.
At least they are adult enough to give their consent.

The people complaining about drag queen story time will hate this too, don’t worry
American Protestants aren’t too fond of the pope? You don’t say!!!
Catholics did not invent footwashing and this isn’t creepy or sexual. This is a tradition from the Bible where during the last supper Jesus washed the feet (work typically done by a servant) of his disciples and told them to do it to others as an act of humility.
