ROMAN CALENDAR
ROMAN CALENDAR Roman calendar.
Defn: The calendar of the ancient Romans, from which our modern calendars are derived. It is said to have consisted originally of ten months, Martius, Aprilis, Maius, Junius, Quintilis, Sextilis, September, October, November, and December, having a total of 3 4 days. Numa added two months, Januarius at the beginning of the year, and Februarius at the end, making in all 355 days. He also ordered an intercalary month, Mercedinus, to be inserted every second year. Later the order of the months was changed so that January should come before February. Through abuse of power by the pontiffs to whose care it was committed, this calendar fell into confusion. It was replaced by the Julian calendar. In designating the days of the month, the Romans reckoned backward from three fixed points, the calends, the nones, and the ides. The calends were always the first day of the month. The ides fell on the 15th in March, May, July (Quintilis ), and October, and on the 13th in other months. The nones came on the eighth day (the ninth, counting the ides ) before the ides. Thus, Jan. 13 was called the ides of January, Jan. 12, the day before the ides, and Jan. 11, the third day before the ides (since the ides count as one ), while Jan. 14 was the 19th day before the calends of February.

Roman Catholic Church
Roman Cath |olic Church the part of the Christian Church which acknowledges the Pope as its head, especially as it has developed since the Reformation. It is the largest Christian Church, dominant particularly in South America and southern Europe. Roman Catholicism differs from Protestantism in the importance it grants to tradition, ritual, and the authority of the Pope as successor to the Apostle St Peter, and especially in its doctrines of papal infallibility (formally defined in 1870 ) and of the Eucharist (transubstantiation ), its celibate male priesthood, its emphasis on confession, and the veneration of the Virgin Mary and other saints. Much modern Roman Catholic thought and practice arises from scholastic theology and from the response to the Reformation made by the Council of Trent (1545 –63 ). It became less rigid after the Second Vatican Council (1962 –5 ), but its continuing opposition to divorce, abortion, and artificial contraception remains controversial.

For romance —the romance of the words romance and romantic. Romance is a subgenre of fiction, a type of comic book, the element of doo-wop rock and roll. But the romantic is also the province of medieval chivalry, opera and musical comedy, jazz, swing, slow dancing, and moonlight. The dance of the sexes rhymes with romance, and when Freud wants to convey that there are ambiguous erotic edges to the relationships we have with our fathers and mothers, our sisters and brothers, he uses the phrase “family romance. ” Joseph Conrad speaks of the “romance of illusions,” which is almost a redundancy. Romance is sex without the dirt, Eros without disease and old age. Romance is poetry; marriage and its aftermath is prose (the novel ). Romance is one half of the truth, of which death is the other. Who among poets would not want to be a romantic —or even better a Romantic —poet? No matter how well you know that Keats, Shelley, Byron, and Coleridge were Romantic poets in a whole other and more complicated sense, a part of you persists in seeing in the sickly and sensual Keats, the dashing Byron, the political maverick Shelley, and the opium-tripping Coleridge, a quality of heroism that seems hot with the passion of youth —the quality of romance. — DL Conversational, opinionated, and idiomatic, these Word Notes are an opportunity to see a working writer's perspective on a particular word or usage.
