Have you guys heard about October 1582?

Apparently the pope decided to get rid of 10 days.

This is really messing me up. Is it really 10 days ago?

One of the most pressing problems caused by the error was the increasing difficulty of calculating the date of Easter, which the Council of Nicaea in 325 had decreed should fall on the first Sunday following the first full moon after the vernal equinox, which at the time fell on March 21. The growing discrepancy between the date set by the council and the actual vernal equinox was noted in the 8th century CE, if not earlier, and a number of proposals for reform were brought before popes in the Middle Ages

The most surreal part of implementing the new calendar came in October 1582, when 10 days were dropped from the calendar to bring the vernal equinox from March 11 back to March 21. The church had chosen October to avoid skipping any major Christian festivals

If you can believe in transubstantiation then you can believe in the guy defying the time-space continuum.

Yes I've heard of the Gregorian calendar.

And there's an additional fun theory that we're actually living in the year 1724. The Julian Calendar didn't account for the true solar year- 365 days and some change, so that adds an additional day to the calendar every 128 years. The Pope omitted 10 days to make up for it when it should have been 13 days if it were really the year 1582. A lot of things happened in the early Middle Ages that could have caused the church/political entities to miscount or add time to the calendar. Pretty cool rabbit hole:
The Middle Ages Didn't Exist

If you can prove that it should make your mortgage invalid if they tried to foreclose.

When the pilgrims came here America was populated by a race of red haired giants that the pilgrims killed off and founded the Smithsonian to cover up traces of the genocide. What we call the “native Americans” are actually a lost tribe of Israelites that moved here to run the casinos and soak up the free rez housing. If you don’t believe me just read the Mormon Bible

I'm 64 and I probably found out about this when I was 10. But I'm an nerd.
That is why we call it the Gregorian calendar (Pope Gregory).
Before that it was known as the Julian calendar (Julius Caesar).
Have you ever wondered why some Orthodox religions celebrate Christmas and Easter a week after most other Christian denominations?
This is why.

Do you believe in the virgin birth?
Do you believe in the resurrection?
Do you believe that Jesus performed miracles and raised the dead?
If so, I’m not sure why transsubstantiation is such a heavy lift for you. Oh wait, it’s because Catholics believe it, right?

You think that's nuts? Check out the 1752 calendar. September 2nd ended and was followed by September 14th! Eleven days completely dropped from the calendar.
1752 was also the first year that January was considered the first month of the year.
Strange things were afoot long before the 7-eleven incident took place in San Dimas, California in 1989.

Lol, if you think that is wild, look up some YouTube videos on the history of the current calendar We use, especially how it was developed in the Roman period. As the calendar was developed, and we gained a better understanding of how a year is not exactly 365 days, and along with the need to form a unified universal calendar, there was one. If I’m not mistaken with there were technically like 15 months in one calendar year just to Provide a guest. To get everything back in order to the 12 month calendar. It’s a pretty fascinating subject.

I’m guessing you work for Morris Bart because Gordon wouldn’t hire you due to your atheism. I know he’s very religious
