All this has me completely baffled. I was brought up Catholic & went to Catholic school until the 8th grade. I was the one who would always ask questions of the nuns. Their answer to everything was, "Do not ask. It's a divine mystery." Well, that never stopped me. The only time a priest "truthfully" answered me was when I asked, " God created Adam & Eve & they had Cain & Able. Cain slew Able & was banished into Nod, where he met his wife Enoch." So, I asked, "How did Nod come about & who was Enoch?" He answered, " You have to understand that these were all fables. It's like telling someone something & by the time it gets to the tenth person, it's a completely different story." Finally! Someone said the truth! But, I digress. My question(s)....Didn't Jesus die on the cross on a certain Friday & then 3 days later, he rose from the dead, which Catholics tell us it's Easter? What does the moon have to do with anything? Why would it be different for different religions? Now the BIG question is, if Jesus was considered to be "King of the Jews", why are there Catholics? Sorry to go off on a tangent, but I haven't got a straight answer yet.
