 Curious And Unusual - Mid-day in Rome
An official time reference for all the city was therefore an important need for Rome: pope Clement XI must have thought of this when, at the beginning of the 18th century, he gave commission to Francesco Bianchini to build an important and complicated sun-dial in the church of Santa Maria degli Angeli.
Clement was also the pope who reformed the religious calendar, by introducing a standard parameter to determine the date of Easter day, every year: the first Sunday following the full moon after the spring equinox.
So Clement XI wanted the sun-dial to act both as a precise time reference for the city's benefit, and as a religious calendar for calculating each year's Easter day.

 Catholic Culture : Document Library : Leo XIII's Decision on Anglican Orders: The Extrinsic Argument
The decision of Clement XI (1704) and Leo XIII (1896) merely reiterated pontifical decisions given by Popes Julius and Paul between 1553 and 1555.
The reigning Pontiff, Clement XI, decreed, April 17, 1704, that the "said John Clement Gordon be ordained fully and absolutely to all Orders, and particularly to that of priesthood." In any event, 1704 marks nothing more than the adjudication of a case which inaugurated a new series of documents emanating from the Apostolic See.
In adjudicating the case, Clement XI grounded his judgment of the Anglican orders of Gordon on defect of "form." Great importance is attached by Catholic controversialists to the fact that the papal action is the connecting link in clear-headed consistency on the part of Rome.
