I can live with celebrating our Lord's ressurection and calling it "Pesach". "Easter" is pagan. Which was my original point. Maybe you should change your name to "ignorant"?
I have a problem with the Lord's resurrection day being named after a pagan goddess. If that makes me ignorant so be it. Easter=Ishtar. If you disagree perhaps you should change your screen name.
Steven, you claim Constantine had something to do with it, despite being told otherwise. That is the problem. The "Easter" tradition is only a factor in the English language. Your entire objection falls apart. It is ridiculous.

It isn't necessary to read minds in order to arrive at a reasonable conclusion. If the birth rate in "Catholic" Italy is among the lowest in the western world I will assume "Catholic" Italians practice birth control. It is up to you to convince me that Italians as well as Catholics in the United States are either sterile or have invented a new method of "natural rythm". This one, one that works. It sure as hell didn't work in my day.
So what? Does that mean that birth control is OK? Does it mean the Church's teaching isn't True? What is the point of this little non sequitur of yours? That sinful people negate teachings?
