We were literally taught that in catholic school. Just like Jesus was almost certainly not born in 0 AD. It’s just not important to his teachings, but rather important during the spread of catholicism.

Plenty of good reasons to be critical of Catholic Church, but “They claimed saturnalia as their year end celebration because no one actually wrote down proper dates 2000 years ago and the Romans still wanted a festival in mid-December” is not a great one.

Technically there is no 0AD. It goes from 1 BC to 1 AD
