  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Every Catholic is well aware of the fact that the date of Easter moves around the calendar every year. Not every Catholic knows why.

Yeshua died on Pesakh, the 14th of Nisan. Unleavened starts on the 15th. Your article said "The reason for this is that the crucifixion of our Lord occurred during the feast of the Unleavened Bread, which was observed for seven days after Passover." It also wrongly states "Here Passover and the associated feast of Unleavened Bread are described. These roughly correspond to our Holy Thursday and Good Friday (the 14th and 15th days of the month, if the synoptic gospel narrative has any value) and the week of Easter."

I know that there is discussion between the Vatican and the Orthodox religions to come up with celebrating Easter
on the same date. An Orthodox person I message with on FB agrees with me that whatever day they come up
with, it should be synced with the Jewish Passover.
