They would follow right along. You think they really matter? Nah. The eggs and bunnies will sell today, tomorrow, another day.Even if the two groups , the Catholic Church and the Greeks agreed on this, there are other parties involved if you really want a unified date of Easter.
Not only various other Christian denominations, but also stock exchanges which close markets on the Easter weekend as well as various foreign governments and shopping malls that hire easter bunnies, candy and ham manufacturers, etc. Limiting the talks to two parties is a really limited exercise. If the Greeks and the Catholic agree on a date that doesn' t gibe with the determinations of the Methodists and Mormons, what date should the stock market close for good Friday.
Why do you think the candy manufacturers or stores will follow along with the Catholics instead of the Lutherans or Baptists when they determine when to time their candy shipments? A Jewish shopkeeper doesn't have any skin in that game.
If the RCC and Greeks decide to celebrate Easter on April 1st every year, but the Baptists disagree and continue with the current system, what should the Hindu manager of the 7-11 do?
