Next spring I want you to tell all the folks in your parish that this year will be a celebration of "Passover" instead of an "Easter service". Please take along your digital camera so all us FReepers can see their reactions.

Uhh, keep in mind that we use Latin. "Pascha" is what the feast is officially called IN LATIN. We don't even hear your hated word "Easter" except in the homily if the priest even chooses to use it. What do we hear instead in the liturgy? Pascha/Victimae Pascali laudes/cum Pascha nostrum immolatus est Christus/paschalibus mysteriis. Pascha, Pascha, Pascha--which is nothing but the Latin transliteration of Hebrew "Pesach".

And I say again, you think you have a right to condemn what John's own disciples did not condemn--based on your *particular* Biblical interpretation which almost no one in Christianity has shared for 2000 years. Just Diego1618, 2000 years later came along and discovered the truth that all the rest of Christendom stupidly missed. Millions of Christians, all wrong, all apostates, all deluded. Diego1618 and a handful of folks stand in the right--the last beacon of truth.

The sin of pride comes in many guises, my friend, and the temptation to gnosis is a very insidious one in Christianity.

Truer words have not been spoken!
