  CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: St. Gregory of Nazianzus
Gregory, however, unfortunately allowed himself to be imposed upon by a plausible adventurer called Hero, or Maximus, who came to Constantinople from Alexandria in the guise (long hair, white robe, and staff) of a Cynic, and professed to be a convert to Christianity, and an ardent admirer of Gregory's sermons.
Gregory's claims to rank as one of the greatest theologians of the early Church are based, apart from his reputation among his contemporaries, and the verdict of history in his regard, chiefly on the five great "Theological Discourses" which he delivered at Constantinople in the course of the year 380.
Gregory, in reply to the contention that the Divinity of the Spirit is not expressed in Scripture, quotes and comments on several passages which teach the doctrine by implication, adding that the full manifestation of this great truth was intended to be gradual, following on the revelation of the Divinity of the Son.

 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: St. Gregory the Great
Gregory's father was Gordianus, a wealthy patrician, probably of the famous gens Amicia, who owned large estates in Sicily and a mansion on the Caelian Hill in Rome, the ruins of which, apparently in a wonderful state of preservation, still await excavation beneath the Church of St. Andrew and St. Gregory.
Gregory's mind and memory were both exceptionally receptive, and it is to the effect produced on him by these disasters that we must attribute the tinge of sadness which pervades his writings and especially his clear expectation of a speedy end to the world.
Gregory at once took the surprising step of appointing a tribune on his own authority to take command of the city (Epp., II, xxxiv), and, when no notice of this strong action was taken by the imperial authorities, the pope conceived the idea of himself arranging a separate peace with the Lombards (Epp., II, xlv).

 Gregory of Rimini (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy)
Gregory reacted by charging that both the theory of the privative cause and the notion of the positive cause of predestination in those who are predestined are Pelagian.
Gregory, on the other hand, agreed with the common position on divine foreknowledge, but when it really counted, in soteriology, Gregory took this common position to what he (and Auriol) thought was its logical conclusion.
Gregory then applied the notion to a host of other philosophical problems, such as future contingents, and through him the complexe significabile became the common intellectual property of continental thinkers, and parallel notions are found in many important later intellectuals.

 Gregory
Gregory, a distant relative of Heraclius (son of Heraclius' cousin Nicetas) became exarch of Carthage during Heraclius' reign.

 Pope Gregory I - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
Gregory was born to a patrician and thoroughly Christian Roman family (father, Gordianus, and mother, Silvia, also sanctified -as well as his aunts Trasilla and Emiliana) that owned latifundia in the south and a domus on the Caelian Hill, the foundations of which support the Church of St. Gregory (see section).
Gregory's childhood in the disasters of the Gothic War, his secular cursus honorum, his sojourn in Constantinople, and doubtless his personal assessment of the Exarch, convinced him that no help from the East was to be expected in the confrontations with the Lombards that began his pontificate.
Gregory expressed the difficulty and danger of his position in some of the earliest letters (Epistles I, iii, viii, xxx); but no actual hostilities began until the summer of 592, when a threatening letter from Ariulf of Spoleto was followed by the appearance of the Lombard before the walls of Rome.

 Professor Gregory Chow
Gregory entered Cornell University as a sophomore in 1948, after one year at Lingnan University in Guangzhou.Being mathematically inclined, he took advantage of the strong mathematics department at Cornell.But in the economics department, mathematical economics and econometrics were largely absent from the curriculum, and Gregory had to study these topics on his own.
Gregory’s doctoral dissertation, which became a standard reference in empirical economics, was a study of the factors determining the demand for automobiles.After the publication of his thesis, Gregory was invited by Al Harberger of Chicago to write a paper extending his work.
Gregory was curious to see whether the equations he had estimated in his thesis were applicable to data outside the sample period, and so he developed a statistical test for stability of the coefficients of a regression over time.This work was the origin of the Chow test.

 Gregory the Great, Bishop and Doctor
Gregory was born around 540, of a politically influential family, and in 573 he became Prefect of Rome; but shortly afterwards he resigned his office and began to live as a monk.
English-speaking Christians will remember Gregory for sending a party of missionaries headed by Augustine of Canterbury (not to be confused with the more famous Augustine of Hippo) to preach the Gospel to the pagan Anglo-Saxon tribes that had invaded England and largely conquered or displaced the Celtic Christians previously living there.
Gregory had originally hoped to go to England as a missionary himself, but was pressed into service elsewhere, first as apocrisiarius and then as bishop of Rome.
