Pope Gregory XIII in 1582, compensated for an error of 10 days in The Julian Calendar. The date Friday, October 5, 1582 was renamed Friday, October 15, 1582, thus dropping 10 days that had erroneously accumulated.

Nothing. The days in between (October 5- October 14th 1582) never existed as by Pope Gregory XIII 's desicion the day after the 4th of October was October 15th 1582 so that the actual time meets the calendar time. Now, every four years we have a leap year to make up for the extra time really existant (due to the time the earth needs to perform a full orbit around the sun) each year

I knew it in grade school (Catholic grade school). There was a very good, practical (not religious) reason for changing the Julian calendar: It no longer matched the seasons. A few days didn't matter, but when you're nearly two weeks off (in an agrarian economy), you start noticing that terms like "Winter" and "Spring" don't mean quite what they used to. The correction was needed. Of course the only person with enough recognized authority to impose it was the pope. And even that wasn't universal. The Catholic countries all switched, but the Protestant countries all dragged their feet. That played havoc with international relations. (England didn't switch until September 2, 1752, and people rioted in the streets, shouting "Who stole our eleven days?") But eventually everyone fell in line. (The Orthodox countries, such as Greece and Russia, were among the last, and that does not include the religious calendar.) Here's a list of adoption dates: 1582 Catholic states of Italy, Portugal, Spain, Belgium, Holland, and Poland 1584 German and Swiss Catholic states 1587 Hungary 1700 German, Swiss, and Dutch Protestant States, Denmark, and Norway 1752 Great Britain and its colonies 1873 Japan 1875 Egypt 1918 Russia 1924 Greece 1926 Turkey 1949 China In the United States, there is a story about George Washington, who was born on February 11, "Old Style" calendar. When the New Style was adopted in the colonies, he decided to switch to February 22nd. As for 2100, EVERY century year that is not divisible by 400 is NOT a leap year. That's a fine-tuning of the calendar because a year is NOT exactly 365¼ days. If it wasn't done, the calendar would still drift slowly away from the seasons. The pope is not the problem. Your beef is with the Earth itself. Did you know that Julius Caesar stole a day from February and added it to July, HIS month? Even worse, his successor Augustus stole another day from February and added it to HIS month! And pope Gregory left all that alone! (I'll bet you're REALLY angry now.)

Even without documentation of the papal bull, the institution of no leap years on centuries except divisible by 4 is documented. Without this rule, the easter holiday was getting earlier and earlier. So by inference, there had to be a change in the calendar of +10 days with or without the documentation. But as another has pointed out: this change did not affect the weekly cycle and made no terrific difference in the long run.

Due to the implementation of the Gregorian calendar this day does not exist in this year in Italy, Poland, Portugal and Spain.
