I'm on my way to Clavius.
For the past two weeks…
some extremely odd things have been happening at Clavius.

When some of Clavius' students went to China, they drew heavily on
his writings to publish on scientific topics in Chinese.
Clearly something needed to be done,
so Pope Gregory XIII asked Christopher Clavius, a Jesuit astronomer, to help him solve the problem.
So the Pope ordered a new system,
and Aloysus Lilius(and later Christopher Clavius after Lilius died in 1576) got right on it.
An early example of Jesuit science was Christoph Clavius(1538-1612), who taught and researched at the Jesuit
college in Rome for some 40 years.
On the committee was the German Jesuit astronomer/mathematician Clavius, who repeatedly requested information on how people
constructed calendars in other parts of the world.
The Roman church became aware of this problem, and in 1570,
Pope Gregory XIII commissioned Jesuit astronomer Christopher Clavius to come up with a new calendar.
