  • Description: Speaking to a global gathering of priests in June, Pope Francis signaled an openness to changing the date of Easter in the West so that all Christians around the world could celebrate the feast on the same day. The Pope said “we have to come to an agreement” for a common date on Easter. The event drew priests from five continents. The Pope joked that Christians could say to one another: “When did Christ rise from the dead? My Christ rose today, and yours next week,” adding that this disunity is a scandal. The Orthodox churches normally celebrate Easter a week after the Catholics. We talk to Dr. Adam Deville about this gathering that received virtually no attention at the time.
