There was a big deal about calendar reform during this time. About finding the 'correct' day for Easter. The Julian calendar was out of accord and known to be out of accord in the works of Roger Bacon, yet attempts to reform failed until 1582, when Gregorian reforms *started*.
Given several significant, historical attempts between Bacon and Pope Gregory XIII, one wonders why did they fail? Was there opposition to the suggestions that were proposed? Several earlier popes also promoted the efforts because of the religious connection to finding Easter. And it's still too early to see much challenge to geocentrism, isn't it?
