NOTE: At around 06:05, Fr Peter states that the New Calendar is the Gregorian Calendar. They do align but dates are calculated differently so technically they aren't the same. At the 1923 Congress the decision was made not to adopt the Gregorian because doing so would be exploited by the Pope to further the Unia. Rather, Pat. Meletios wanted to introduce a superior calendar to the Gregorian with the hope that the rest of the world would also adopt the New Calendar and see the EP as more of a “leader of the Christian world“ than the Pope. The New Calendar, or Revised Julian, is based on the calculations of the Serbian scientist Milutin Milanković that were proposed at the 1923 Congress.
