Part 4/7:
The timing of Pope Francis’s death, falling on Easter Monday, prompts deeper inquiry. From an objective viewpoint, one could argue that it was merely coincidental that the Pope's demise occurred on a significant and historically rich date. However, one might also consider the implications of his death on a day that many associate with pagan rituals influenced by the early Roman Empire.
Historically, Easter has roots that predate Christianity, tracing back to pagan celebrations of spring and fertility. Such connections raise questions about the context of his death, particularly given the longstanding interplay between paganism and early Christian practices orchestrated by the Roman Catholic Church.
