Currently, you will hear talk of the pope and the patriarch of the Orthodox Church discussing making Easter, the same date for both rites. We do have different calendars. The calendar the Orthodox Church is using is the Julian Calendar, in use since 45 BC proposed by Julius Caesar.
We used it, too, until 1582, when Pope Gregory VIII designed the Gregorian Calendar. It's supposed to be more accurate.
It will be nice to celebrate Easter with our sisters and brothers.
