Actually, they're not. In one post you criticize Catholics for being clueless about Christianity, that they don't know even how to read and then in the next post you praise their educational facilities - needles to say that you contradict yourself because your arguments are just weak ad-hoc gibberish that even you don't take seriously.
The second thing is that Church did not invent the calendar but rather did a little improvement on Julian calendar and called it Gregorian calendar and it took them 300 years to do it. In 1263 Roger Bacon wrote a letter to the pope asking him to adjust the calendar and then in 1582, the Pope made the necessary changes with the advice of the German astronomer, Christopher Clavius. What he did is he decreed a change in the Leap Year system. Every fourth year was still to be Leap Year, but with a few exceptions. Years that ended in a double were not to be Leap Years unless they were divisible by 400. AND that's it - all the rest is the Julian calendar.
But as I said earlier, other Christianities didn't accept the calendar because they considered Catholics as idiots - just as you do in other posts when it suits you, you ad-hoc clown. Denmark and the Protestant parts of Germany and the Netherlands adopted the Gregorian calendar in 1700, but England did not adopt it until September 2, 1752. For many years afterward, the people of England kept both calendars, even though only the Gregorian Calendar was official. Also Greek Orthodox Church itself still refuses to accept the Gregorian Calendar to this day.
But if you want to talk about perfection the Gregorian Year is not perfect, it adds 25 seconds a year and actually Soviet government has adopted a new arrangement of Leap Years that is even more accurate than the Gregorian arrangement.
