The civilcalendar is almost always used for general purposes by people and private organizations. The most widespread civilcalendar and de facto standard de facto international standard is the Gregorian calendar . Though that calendar is associated with the Catholic Church and the papacy, it has been adopted, as a matter of convenience, by many secular and non Christian countries. Some countries have retained the older Julian calendar , while others use other calendars. Commonly, another calendar, or more than one, is used alongside the civilcalendar. For example, Christian Church es have their own calendars, which they use to compute the dates for their own festivals, though most of these dates are then expressed relative to the civilcalendar.

The Common CivilCalendar and Time Calendar C&T is a proposal for calendar reform . It is one of many examples of leap week calendar s, calendar s which maintain synchronization with the solar year by intercalation intercalating entire weeks rather than single days. In 2004, Dick Henry, a professor of astronomy at Johns Hopkins University , proposed the adoption of a calendar which he credits to Robert McClennon. It is very similar to the Gregorian calendar but is identical from year to year in most years. It is kept in sync with the Earth s orbit by adding a whole intercalary week long period, named Newton, at irregular intervals of 5, 6 or 7 years. January, February, April, May, July, August, October and November have thirty days, March, June, September, and December have thirty one.
