You just know there's that one guy who keeps telling anyone who'll listen about the epic party where he got blackout drunk and passed out from October 4 to October 15.
"Adding this month had a lot of potential political benefit for the powerful Pontifex Maximus. He could shorten a political rival’s term, or postpone the end of a friend’s. He could extract political concessions from vendors who wanted to sell during a religious festival, and he could even control when debts were due (based on the calendar)."
Good lord, let's not be givin' anyone any ideas... 🤔😎
I find it interesting that you picked this particular topic to comment on considering the endless list of mistakes The Church has made throughout the centuries.
I do have one question. How in the world does the equinox “drift”? It’s always and forever, has been, March 20. Give or take a few hours. The correlation of science and religion here makes the narrative a non sequitur
Nice! So many moreayers on that year thing. Like how George Washington has two different birthdays in two different years.

Twas ever thus.
