A new book that came out this week by pope Benedict XVI looks at the early life of Jesus and debunks several myths about how the nativity unfolded. The pope says that the Christian calander is actually based on a blunder by a 6th century monk, who Benedict says was several years off in his calculation of Jesus' birth date. According to the pope's research, there is also no evidence in the gospels that the cattle and other animals traditionally pictured gathered around the manager were actually present. He also debunks the claim that Angels sang at the birth, a staple theme of Christmas carols. The book is the third in a series by the pontiff. This in my mind sounds like there are too many complications in religious views and if the pope doesn't believe what most have thought was true then what are the people supposed to believe now?
