Interesting. I thought you were one of us North Americans who celebrated Easter 3 days ago.

I am a North American of Eastern European and Italian background. But I celebrate the true Easter . . . 😉

Martin Luther once debated an RC theologian. When Luther heard him cast an aspersion on the Orthodox Church, he spoke in defence of the Eastern Church to remind his RC opponent that the Eastern Church was one-half of the universal Church and that he considered the Eastern Church, by far, the “better half.”

Protestants aren’t all bad . . . :)🙂

Oh, that Martin Luther. Always saying the craziest of things 😛

Protestants aren’t all bad, eh? You Eastern Catholics aren’t half bad yourselves ;)😃
 
You’ve perhaps heard about the Catholic who, while giving a speech at Calvin College, said “Anyone who believes in total depravity can’t be all bad.”

Oh, the irony of that statement.
 
Um… how can the “true” Easter be on May 5th when Passover began on April 6th? 🤷

Because, according to the canons of Nicea (the first, I believe), Easter is should take place after Passover, not before.

That’s cool. 🙂

My parish, and all other EC parishes I have been too AFAIK, celebrate the Latin Easter date.

In the UGCC, we call it the “Polish Easter.” 🙂 Eastern Canada is an EC traditionalist hold-out - as is the UGCC parish of Sts Volodymyr and Olha in Chicago.

Please - we’re the “better half” of Christendom.

Dr Luther said so, you know . . . 😉

That is absolutely correct - Easter must always take place after Passover. This year, the West came close to celebrating Easter like Quartodeciman schismatics!

“The better half of Christendom”, eh? Humility is a sign of saintliness, you know 😛

Dr. Luther also had many other wonderful statements, none of which I shall reproduce here 😉

Better maybe, but not half. Only a very small percentage of Christians are EC.

I think Dr Martin Luther was referring to the entire Orthodox East. “Uniatism” wasn’t on the horizon in Europe just yet . . .

I’ve heard RC priests quote them during their sermons, at one point referring to “Brother Martin of Querfurt.”

The Catholic-Lutheran “Die Sammlung” movement has produced a wonderful perspective on the basic Catholic vision of Br. Martin.

Indeed. Such changes are astounding. But, we are getting off-topic. Goodness, gracious, perhaps us two should start a thread somewhere about Eastern Christianity and Lutherans. We have more in common than one would think! ;)😃
 
That really shortens the problem. And, I can guarantee you, the unique demonstrators of The capital were not ignorant- one need only look at Luther and Calvin to know that they were experienced in the Men, as well as other beginning Protestants.

The reality is that most Honest of any red stripe do not know their historical past, because it is never trained. This is something that relates to Protestants, Catholics, Traditional, etc. as well.

We could all do with a bit of historical past.​

Remember of course that the protestants were ‘protesting’ against Rome.

My Baptist theology professor of Protestant thought at my Jesuit college explained that the term comes from Luther’s, “We will protest our faith,” a usage far closer to “profess” in modern English than “protest.”

Protestants like to identify the Catholic Church as the Roman Catholic Church, but are they not familiar with the Eastern rites of the Church? To eastern Catholics does this offend you that you are being so called left out because they call the whole church " Roman "? Is there anyway we can introduce the eastern rites to the western culture of Christianity, because as a Latin rite I’m sick of people not knowing the other lung of the Church.

God bless

When protestant say “Roman Catholic Church” they’re talking about it in a whole to include the Eastern branches (at least the educated ones do anyway :rolleyes:).

We say Roman because we tend to consider “Anglican” reformed Catholic, we know there’s a separate Polish National Catholic Church.

There’s other “Catholic” Churches we have to refer to you know.

According to Merriam-Webster “Roman Catholic” was first used in 1581. What happened that year?

An Act of Parliament of 1581 made reconciliation to the Catholic Church treason, and another Act in 1585 “against Jesuits and seminary priests”, the most infamous of all these laws, proscribed as treason the very presence of a Catholic priest in England and made it felony for anyone to shelter or assist him. Treason and felony were capital crimes and thus many Catholics were to suffer death under these laws.
