	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.

		Gregory, extolling his virtue, says that whilst he enjoyed the honours of the world he looked upon the advantage of being a Christian as the first of his dignities and the most glorious of all his titles, reckoning all the rest dross and dung.
		Gregory heard, with blushing and confusion, the applause and acclamations with which his discourses were received; and his fear of this danger made him speak in public with a certain timidity and reluctance.

		Gregory submitted with reluctance to this humiliating exile; he was ordained bishop of Sasima; but he solemnly protests, that he never consummated his spiritual marriage with this disgusting bride.
		On his arrival in the capital, Gregory was entertained in the house of a pious and charitable kinsman; the most spacious room was consecrated to the uses of religious worship; and the name of Anastasia was chosen to express the resurrection of the Nicene faith.

		Gregory does not suggest that there is no hope of restoring this original simplicity, since he urges: ‘look to the original equality, not the later division, nor the law of the powerful, but the law of the creator; help nature as much as you can, honour the original freedom’.
		Gregory Nazianzen sees wealth as a charge to be administered for the benefit of the poor, and cites the words of Amos (wrongly attributed in the text to Micah) on the evil of those who indulge in luxuries while the poor starve.
		Gregory Nazianzen contrasts the sickness of the soul (from which his audience may be suffering) with the sickness of the poor, on whose behalf he is appealing.

		Gregory, his friend, named after his home town of Nazianzus, was the son of a bishop, and ordained comparatively late in life.
		He was later consecrated by Basil as bishop of Sasima, an out-of-the-way frontier town; it must be admitted that Gregory found this post far from congenial, and indeed his friendship with Basil suffered as a result.
		He was later invited to Constantinople to restore harmony to the Christian community after the impact of the Arian heresy, and although as a retiring character, used to rural life, he only agreed with reluctance to accept this responsibility in the capital, he proved highly successful.

		They were angry with the young Gregory Nazianzen, the son of their own Bishop Gregory the elder, because he had run away months before, abandoning his flock, abandoning his father and bishop, as a reaction to his sudden ordination to the priesthood, something that he had not at all expected or desired.
		Gregory, in turn, was to protest his own hurt at their uncharitable behavior in what would become his Third Oration, remonstrating with his flock even while declaring his love for them.
		Gregory is abundantly clear: such qualities as this ministry demands are so sublime as to be rare indeed, and any man called to this office is presumptuous if he thinks himself competent for the task.

		When he was already advanced in the practice of virtue and piety, Gregory was favored with a mystical vision that gave him a special esteem for chastity.
		Gregory described the young ladies as modest and recollected, with lowered gaze, to indicate that such virtues require one to be concerned about superior things and to avoid dissipation and superficiality.

		A year older than Basil, Gregory was born in 329 at Nazianzus to his father Saint Gregory Nazianzen the Elder, then the bishop of Nazianzus, and his mother Saint Nonna.
		This seemed to be the only riff between Basil and Gregory and when Gregory's father died in 374 the son went into a state of depression, turning inward to prayer for the only answers.
		With this accomplished, Gregory, noted for his brilliant writings in defending the true faith and theological brilliance on explaining the Trinity in his sermons, finally retired and settled in Asia Minor where he spent the remainder of his life in prayer, passing on peacefully in 391.

	(Gregory Nazianzen) Julian the Emperor (1888) Title page, Preface, Illustrations
		IN the case of the Emperor Julian, Historic Truth possesses the very rare advantage of having two portraits of the same person, taken from diametrically opposite points of view—and both of them by painters intimately acquainted with their subject during the whole course of his career.
		Gregory of Nazianzus, a city of Cappadocia, sometime Bishop of Constantinople, had been a fellow-student of Julian's at the University of Athens, and had been treated by him with marked kindness and consideration (for which the worthy Father was subsequently forced to invent a very malicious motive), after his elevation to the purple.
		I may however remark, parenthetically, that some of Gregory's charges against the emperor, require a very prejudiced construction to give them the flness aimed at—as for example, his refraining from actual persecution from no other motive than that he begrudged the Christians the honour of martyrdom to which they so zealously aspired.
