At the time of the bloody schism of the Julian-Gregorian calendrical
reform, when it was suggested to Pope Gregory (1582) that it might be
easier to adopt the proven Jewish calendar, he exclaimed: " 'tis better
to be wrong with the calendar than right with the Jews!". Amnon.
What a strangely unCatholic thing to say. Just goes to prove that Popes are
just ordinary men capable of sin like all others. Just as well he had not tried
to make that utterance Ex Cathedra... He would have been struck dead or dumb on
the spot , before he finished.
Oh well here we go again......Grin.
Thanks for the interesting insight on the calandars Amnon. I have often
wondered if we really have the calandars right even for the years. Is this
still only 1999 perhaps? I recall somewhere, that in the middle ages, calandars
varied from city to city even...

Only the intercalary Jewish calendar has managed to reconcile so well
for so long the three distinct geocentric motions of the solar (the
year), lunar (the month) and diurnal (day) periods.
H<>ow unlike the calendars of the nations. The Christian world has its
years correctly calculated, but not the months. The 365 days of the year
are arbitrarily divided into twelve months, which themselves have no
relation to the orbit of the moon.
The Moslems have correct months, but incorrect years. They simply make
the twelve lunar months into a year of 354 days, which is eleven short!
The result is that their festivals are not bound to the seasons of the
year, and keep shifting, now to the spring, now to the winter, and then
to the summer: not exactly conducive to calmness of spirit. Some hold
this as being partly responsible for the volatility of the Muslim
character!
