  "so why aren't you pinpointing the Eastern Churches? Is it because they are doing the right thing, that is, keeping the Lord's festivals?
  
  And if they 'keep the Lord's festivals', why aren't you Orthodox?
  
  We Catholics celebrate Pascha; we merely call it Easter. Simple as that."

  and you still miss the point... pascha is correct, but easter is not.

  Err? Which Bible are you using:
  1 Cor 7:9 But if they cannot control themselves, they should marry, for it is better to marry than to burn with passion.
  
  You know I had to stare your post many times to ensure that I am reading the correct verse.

  so if Mother Church merely changes the name 'Easter' to 'Pascha', then everything will be all right?

  CE,
  how come mine reads the same as Brey? (heehee, I double checked it with Bible gateway also)... hey, ok, I now found the problem....
  
  Brey, typo, its verse 19 not verse 9
  
  
  

  
  1Cor 7:18-20 (NIV)
  18Was a man already circumcised when he was called? He should not become uncircumcised. Was a man uncircumcised when he was called? He should not be circumcised. 19Circumcision is nothing and uncircumcision is nothing. Keeping God's commands is what counts.20Each one should remain in the situation which he was in when God called him
