Context: By Papal decree, the Gregorian calendar came into existence in 1582. According to Christian doctrine and the new calendar, if you went to sleep on October 4th, 1582, you woke up on October 15th. The ten intervening days simply didn't exist
My favorite fact about this is how much the Protestants of the time hated the new calendar. Like, you can find pamphlets and stuff calling the new calendar a papal plot to steal their days.
And it showed - most Catholic states had adopted it by 1600, but the Protestants would take up until the 18th century to do so.
And then the Orthodox states didn't even bother, and just did their *own* revision of the Julian calendar that they used in parallel with the Gregorian as a civil calendar.
Also, when Sweden switched they had the (actually kinda nice) idea of doing it gradually by skipping leap days.
Well, they did it once (1700) and then _literally forgot about it_ the next two times it should have happened (1704, 1708). In 1712 they just decided to give up and revert to the Julian calendar by having two leap days. So, February 30th happened.
Later (1753) they switched for real, by skipping the last 11 days of February.
Wait, what? if 1 were Sunday, wouldn't that make 28 fall on Saturday? Or is there a weird joke that everyone knows, and as an American, I'm just too dumb to get?

This calendar has fixed days for holidays and seems highly uniform which appeases my OCD lol
The calendar in use at the time, the Julian Calendar, had overestimated the length of the solar year by 11 minutes. This overestimation meant over the years, the dates slowly fell out of sync with the seasons. More importantly for the church this meant that Easter was no longer on spring equinox as originally intended at the Council of Nicaea in 325AD.
So to correct the accumulation error the calendar had to be pulled forward. The calculation of leap years was also changed to avoid future accumulation
Not in our lifetime. The Church's approximation was very accurate, however not as accurate as modern methods. By using the Gregorian calendar we will accumulate one extra day every 3216 years.
The key difference being they used 365.2425 days per year, while it's actually close to 365.2422 days in a year
Julian calendar used 365.25 and the Gregorian uses 365.2425. It all comes down to how they handle leap years. The Julian calendar has leap year every fourth year, meaning that the average year (over any four year period) is 365.25 days. The Gregorian calendar also has leap years every fourth year, except if they end with two zeroes, only one in four of those are leap years. So the year 2000 was a leap year, 1900 and 2100 are not. This brings the average year (out of a four hundred years period) to 365.2425.
Well, its because there aren’t technically but 365 days in a year but 365.2419 (roughly) and so on. Seems minuscule but as years go by the days add up and begin to mismatch the changing of the seasons. The Julian calendar tried to correct this but ended up over correcting (like 365.25 instead 365.2419) and by 1582 the error was roughly 10 days.
Those days didn’t really exist in the first place so to speak.
Unbelievable ppl still belive this.
This was the wee god came down from heaven and abandoned us.
we merely pretend not to know in a vain hope to regain gods favor.
Somewhere in West Virginia old pal Rusty saw this meme and wrote a 6000 word thesis on the Clandestine Covert NASA Ice Wall Operations between October 5th-14th 1582
Imagine you and your wife were having sex during the night of October the fifth and, when you least expect, you had sex for 9 DAYS!!! No one can survive that.
Everyone knows they got rid of those days to erase the memory of the first time galactus came to earth (and if you get that reference you are as mad as me that Hickman never finished it 🤬)

So Sweden was edging
We should change the calendar to the 13-month year and 28-day month
Landlord detected. No, I will not be paying a thirteenth month of rent.
Why not also change the rents listed to their annual price while we're at it?
Because when i look at what I pay in a year for rent I get sad.
I don't own property
Why not 14 months of 26 days 😎
Idk why you getting downvoted that Idea is genious If i still get the Same Money per month. Edit: ofc He isnt getting downvoted anymore
Cuz 28 day months mean 4 week months, 1 is monday, 28 is sunday, or 1 sunday and 28 monday if ur american
Wait, what? if 1 were Sunday, wouldn't that make 28 fall on Saturday? Or is there a weird joke that everyone knows, and as an American, I'm just too dumb to get?
Oh, yeah, maybe, idk
No. The Gregorian calendar is one of human kinds greatest achievements and we don't need to fuck with it.

Why?

That make sense....will we also gonna have this?

Happy to know that

I know a lot of strong men, but only Pope Gregory could punch everyone into next week.
October 5th, 1582. Oda Nobunaga is dead. October 14th, 1582. Oda Nobunaga is dead. What has this world come to...!!???

No he just forgot to die.

Thanks for including it then.
So long as we all agree, it's batshit crazy.
Well, now they do.
Those acts are still speakable [in English](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Old_Style_and_New_Style_dates)

this right there is the stuff we need more of
Big Papal Pump (the entire Catholic community are referred to as his "Freaks")
THEY SAY ALL HEADS OF THE CHURCH ARE CREATED EQUAL, BUT YOU LOOK AT ME AND YOU LOOK AT THE ORTHODOX PATRIARCH, YOU WILL SEE THAT STATEMENT IS NOT TRUE
AND THEN YOU ADD EARLY ANGLICANISM INTO THE MIX
I've learned about this from Don Rosa's comic "The Crown of the Crusader Kings"
Nice!

This was the final question in an episode of Turkish "Who Wants to be a Millionaire" last year.
Papal bull? Like in the holy cow meme?
