Sensational in the church of San Michele Arcangelo of Manduria, in the province of Taranto.

Due priests they refused to do the foot washing to some immigrants present among the faithful on the evening of Holy Thursday. The news is reported by New daily newspaper of Puglia.

The gesture, forte, shocked the community of the center in the province of Taranto. Manduria, which until now has been the Italian symbol of hospitality, together with Lampedusa, In the 2011 hosted in a tent city, then dismantled, thousands of migrants.
It seems that one of the parish priests had expressed the desire to invite twelve immigrants to wash their feet. It seems like, but, his colleague didn't like the idea and foreigners were then excluded from the ritual repeated every year, in all churches, on the evening of Holy Thursday, taking up the gesture of Jesus made during the Last Supper and told in the Gospel of John.
The news of the "great refusal" immediately spread on social media thanks to some faithful and there was shouting “racism on the altar”.
At the end of the Gospel parable of the washing of the disciples' feet Jesus said: “So if I, who are the Lord and the Master, I washed your feet, you too must wash one another's feet. In fact, I gave you an example, so that you also do as I have done to you.”
The prelate of Manduria, but, “the example” he did not want to remember it and the bishop of Oria and Manduria wanted to meet the two prelates involved in the affair yesterday.
Who knows what Pope Francis thinks about that, Instead, the washing of the feet on Holy Thursday was also dedicated to refugees of the Muslim religion.
