I know this topic has been beat to death, but Im still confused.  I tried a search, but all the calendar topics were merged into one thread and it was hard to follow.

Does Gregorian mean New Calendar while Julian means old?? Or is the Julian spilt up between old and new? Does the new Julian calendar line up with the Gregorian? If so, why not just go with the Gregorian? 

I know I should know this, but its always confused me.  If youre tired of explaining it, link me to a brief article that explains how it all works.  Thanks!!

Even if we have thousands of acts of great virtue to our credit, our confidence in being heard must be based on God's mercy and His love for men. Even if we stand at the very summit of virtue, it is by mercy that we shall be saved.

There are no basic (that is, simple in answer) calendar questions.

O Master Lord our God...who are wondrous in glory; who keeps his covenant and his mercy to them who love him with all their heart; who has given us redemption...through his only-begotten son, Jesus Christ...the life of everyone, the help of those who flee to him, the hope of those who cry to him.

Old Calendar refers to the Julian, while the New Calendar refers to the Revised Julian.
