Gregorian calendar reform

Calendar from 1st Jan of year 1 (the correction from August up to year 8 is not taken into account )
Perpetual Gregorian calendar from October 15, 1582

Gregory XIII. on February 24th signs the Pontifical Bull Inter gravissimas for the introduction of the Gregorian calendar . The bull decreed that the days from October 5th to 14th, 1582, had to be omitted and that the 15th of this year immediately followed Thursday, October 4th. In this way it is achieved that in 1583 the spring equinox falls again on March 21. On the other hand, the bull stipulated that the year 1600 is, as usual, a leap year, the secular years 1700 , 1800 and 1900 however not, but the year 2000 again, and so on. This ensures that there is no further systematic shift in the spring equinox in the following centuries . The calendar dispute with the Protestants begins because of their rejection of the papal decreed calendar.

Thursday October 4th is followed by Friday October 15th in several Catholic countries ; the time calculation according to the Gregorian calendar ( correction year ) begins .
