The only thing from the quote I would question (somewhat) was the quote about the reconciling of the Greek and Roman calendars to the Jewish calendar proving to be difficult. To be sure, it is not an easy thing. But it is not impossible, particularly when you are talking about reconciling the date of your religions biggest holiday. I believe it wasn't done because the early Christians did not want the date linked to another religions' holiday, despite the fact that it clearly is in scripture. It was a matter of religious politics (and people never seem to make wise or logical decisions when those two are combined).
And yet not once but twice we have been told by moderators of MBs we frequent that a politics and religion sub-forum was a logical decision.

I wish you bad luck, again, from time to time so that you will be conscious of the role of chance in life and understand that your success is not completely deserved and that the failure of others is not completely deserved either.
