		</div><p>Pope Francis is changing church law to correspond to his rule-breaking celebration of the Easter Week ritual of the washing of the feet.</p>
<p>Vatican rules for the Holy Thursday rite had long called for only men to participate.</p>
<p>Popes in the past have traditionally performed the ritual on 12 Christian men, recalling the 12 apostles of Jesus.</p>
<p>Shortly after he was elected, Francis raised conservative eyebrows by performing the rite on men and women, Christians as well as Muslims, at a jail.</p>
<p>And now the Vatican has published a decree announcing that the rite can be performed on anyone “chosen from among the people of God”.<br />
It makes no mention of gender or religious affiliation.</p>
