I never said you are a cleric, buddy. The attitudes you point out regarding the shunning of a pregnant young unmarried girl in The Travelling Community “shamed forever and her child referred to as ‘a bastard child’, forever” was common, the norm, a social mores in Irish society up until relatively recently. As Bishop Pat pointed out, such attitudes were indoctrinated by RCC, another legacy of the clerical caste, i.e.The Magdalene Laundries.
Since you claim to have serious issues with reeking hypocrisy, I’m sure you must have serious issues with so much reeking hypocrisy from so many clerics, all funded by the sheeple.

1:03 Not backing down at all. I don’t feel the need to turn this into a conflict, am not arguing and have not moved at all. I will repeat that there is a hint in my original comment as a different way of approaching relating to others and you can’t see it.
Actually if you thought about it, your reaction to this would give you another hint.

The word bastard and illegitimate are synonyms. The notion of illegitimacy is grounded in canon law. The vile pejorative word, bastard, is not peculiar to the Travelling Community. To the best of my knowledge there were a number of Magdalene Laundries in Northern Ireland. Buddy, think of how clerics raped, abused, and protected abusers, while bishops covered up abuse. Think of the number of reports into child rape perpetrated by clergy. Think of the number of reports to come. The hypocrisy of so many clerics reeks. Change your ways, clerics, and others will change towards you. Start living a life of holiness. It is that simple.

Oh, yes they are synonyms! Bastard is a synonym for illegitimate in kin topic. You can use ‘bastard’ instead of the word illegitimate as an adjective or a noun, if it concerns topics such as bastardy, born out of wedlock. Don’t forget to challenge reeking clerical hypocrisy.

A little learnng is a dangerous thing, “Know all”.
In many Romance languages, the word for the Feast of the Resurrection is tied directly to Passover: Pâques (French), Pascua (Spanish), and Pascha (Latin) all come directly from Pesach, the Hebrew word for Passover.
To understand why, we first have to go back to the Hebrew Bible and the story of the first Passover. Moses tells the Israelites to slaughter a passover lamb and paint its blood on their door lintels. Then, when the Lord strikes down the firstborn of every Egyptian family in retribution for the enslavement of the Israelites, he “will pass over the door and will not allow the destroyer to enter your houses to strike you down” (Ex. 12:23).
Paul was the first to connect the risen Christ to Passover. In 1 Corinthians 5:7, he refers to Jesus as the paschal lamb who has been sacrificed for his people’s salvation. Add to that the fact that Jesus celebrated the Last Supper with his disciples during Passover and it makes sense that even today the Feast of the Resurrection is connected with the Jewish holiday.
In English, this tie remains in our practice of lighting the Paschal candles and celebrating the Paschal mystery. But the meaning of the holiday’s name itself is a little more unclear: Where in the world did the word Easter come from?
The short answer is that nobody really knows. Some historians suggest that it came from the phrase hebdomada alba, Latin for “white week,” used to describe the white garments new Christians wore when they were baptized during Holy Week. In Old German, the word became esostarum and, eventually, Easter.
The Venerable Bede, a seventh-century Anglo-Saxon historian, writes that the word Easter comes from the goddess Eostre, an ancient goddess of fertility and the goddess of the dawn who originated in what is now Scandinavia. Over time, early Christians started referring to the Feast of the Resurrection by the name of the month in which it was celebrated—Eosturmonath (what we now call April). This theory neatly ties in with some of our other Easter customs. Easter eggs and the Easter Bunny, for example, are also considered ancient symbols of fertility and tied to the worship of Eostre.
Another, related theory suggests that Easter comes from an old German word for “east,” which in turn is derived from a Latin word for “dawn.” In the past, the word easter could mean “to turn toward the east” and didn’t necessarily have any implied religious meaning.
Historians are never going to figure out exactly where or when Easter was first used. It is one of the oldest Old English words and has been in use for over a millennium, making it impossible to detangle the strands of its history. And, in the end, it is unimportant whether Easter comes from the goddess of the dawn or the Latin word for dawn. In whatever language and whatever etymology, Easter is a time of resurrection and rebirth, a time to celebrate the risen Christ and God’s promise of eternal life.

The word ‘Easter’ is derived from the Anglo-Saxon word ‘Eostre’.
