Question:
Did the Church really begin in the year 30 AD rather than 33 AD and is the Gregorian Calender off by 3-4 years?
Answer:
By examining various historical evidence, we can confidently conclude that Jesus was born between 3 and 2 B.C. and died in April AD 33, meaning the Church began in AD 33 as well.
My Catholic Answers colleague Jimmy Akin breaks down the data to determine the year Jesus was born as well as the date of our Lord’s Death.
