"We, the Catholics of the Western rite (0.6% of the population) can celebrate Easter on May 2 together with the the Eastern Rite Catholics and the Orthodox Christians." This was written on the Facebook page of Catholic Priest Paolo Cortesi, chairman of the Cultural Center "Eugene Bossilkov - Belene", on the occasion of scheduling the parliamentary vote on April 4, when Catholics celebrate the Resurrection.
