Do you believe the Church owns the calendar? Or perhaps Christendom/Christians more broadly?

Any larger change would be symbolic and completely impractical, with waves of inconvenience rippling through civilization. But many non-Christians use the calendar now. We don't want to call this the year of our lord because it isn't our lord.
