Christian Era. After our Lord.
No, it means “Common Era” because atheists and communists and others who reject Christ want to appropriate our Calendar, but choke on using the terms proper to it.
Effem.
C.E. officially stands for “Common Era” by those who want to deny Our Lord, or are respecters of persons and don’t want to offend non-believers.
I wish you were right, but it really means "Common Era." It is an attempt to remove even a hint of Christianity from our language. But If someone challenges you, just say, "Well, what happened in 1 AD?"
Nope...it stands for “Current Era”. It’s used by atheists,Maoists,etc.
