document the state of the calendars in one place
docs/calendars.md: the three independent questions a reckoning answers, how the 1923 split came about and the three changes since that catch out a printed reference, which churches keep what, and where the line falls between the Byzantine rite and the nine Eastern Catholic churches that do not use it. The README and --list lose the prose that had grown around the same subject.

### The other ten
|

|

There are fourteen Byzantine-rite Eastern Catholic churches. The Slovak,
|
||||
Hungarian, Krizevci, Italo-Albanian, Greek, Bulgarian, Macedonian, Belarusian,
|
||||
Russian and Albanian ones are **not** here, and the reason is worth stating:
|
||||
their calendars could not be verified against anything published. General
|
||||
references do not record them, and the churches' own sites render their
|
||||
liturgical calendars in JavaScript. Guessing from geography would put an
|
||||
unsourced claim in the one place this program is actually for.
|
||||
|
||||
You do not need an entry to get a correct calendar. Ask your parish one
|
||||
question, and the answer picks a reckoning:
|
||||
|
||||
| is Pascha kept with… | and the fixed feasts… | |
|
||||
|---|---|---|
|
||||
| Rome | on the civil calendar | `--calendar western` |
|
||||
| the local Orthodox | on the civil calendar | `--calendar new` |
|
||||
| the local Orthodox | thirteen days behind | `--calendar old` |
|
||||
|
||||
Add `--tradition slavic` or `--tradition greek` for the usage your books
|
||||
follow. A patch adding your church, with a source for its calendar, is
|
||||
welcome.
|
||||
Ten of the fourteen Byzantine-rite Eastern Catholic churches have no entry of
|
||||
their own. Each keeps one of the three reckonings, and
|
||||
[docs/calendars.md](docs/calendars.md) sets out which questions decide it.
