In 532, there had yet to be a single Pope Gregory! That year, the Julian calendar would have only been off by about three days--and that is no time at all among Mediterraneans. They take that long for lunch. And the Greek Orthodox Church still adheres to the Julian Calendar. (Someone is keeping a grudge about the Fourth Crusade!) Eugene Dear Leah,
