Calendar dispute

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The disputes that broke out as a result of the Protestants' rejection of the 1582 papal Gregorian calendar reform are called calendar disputes .

The calendar reform extended across the entire West . Protestants, especially numerous clergymen, refused to accept and obey the order issued by a pope. In Catholic countries, the new calendar was introduced immediately, in Protestant countries with a considerable delay, sometimes not until the 18th century.

As a result, the denominations celebrated Easter on different days. In Catholic-ruled territories with a Protestant proportion of the population (which could be done, for example, by inheritance), the Catholic rulers issued an official ban on the "Protestant" Easter celebrations.
