According to both the Answers article on Jilian calendar and the article regarding the Gregorian calendar; the Jilian calendar did not do a very good job of calculating leap years. It takes the Earth a little more than a year to compete one orbit around the sun. The Jilian calendar's method of allowing for the extra time needed was so out of sync that it was off by several days when it was finally replaced. The Gregorian's method of adding one day every four years (February 29) was much more accurate and much easier to use. That is why it is still in use hundreds of years after it was invented and is used by most nations on the planet. It does what it is supposed to do and does it very well.

When was the latest change made in the christian calendar?

The last significant change to the Christian calendar was in 1582, when the Julian calendar was replaced by the Gregorian calendar, which has three fewer leap years in every 400-year period. The leap years that were changed to regular years are the last year of the first three of every four centuries (100, 200, 300, 500, 600, 700, 900, etc.). Although the Gregorian calendar was introduced in the 16th century, it wasn't until the 20th century that every country that used the Julian calendar had finally switched over. The following minor change was made within the past century: Most non-Christians prefer to refer to the years before the year 1 as Before the Christian Era (BCE) rather than the traditional Before Christ (BC), and they refer to the years including and after 1 with "of the Christian Era" (CE) instead of the traditional Anno Domini (AD), Latin for "in the Year of the Lord". Thereby they can use the Christian calendar without referring to Jesus as the Christ or the Lord.

If most of the people of the world are non christian why is the bc ad Christian calendar accepted almost everywhere as a universal calendar?

i suppose it is because they believe that Jesus was a person, but do NOT believe he was the savior(which he was!) The French at one point in history totally changed the calendar so that there was nothing the same. there was a longer week, with no day of rest, they re-named all the days and took BC and AD out of the calendar!! even the horses could not get used to the change, they needed God's perfect plan of a day of rest!

Why did pope Gregory change the calendar?

Pope Gregory XIII introduced the Gregorian calendar in 1582 to correct inaccuracies in the Julian calendar, which miscalculated the solar year by about 11 minutes. This discrepancy caused the date of the spring equinox to drift over centuries, affecting the timing of important Christian feasts like Easter. The Gregorian reform aimed to realign the calendar with the seasons and the liturgical year, ensuring that these events occurred at their appropriate times. The new calendar was adopted gradually across different countries, leading to widespread acceptance today.
