	Pope Gregory I - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Gregory was born to a patrician and thoroughly Christian Roman family (father, Gordianus, and mother, Silvia) that owned latifundia in the south and a domus on the Caelian Hill, the foundations of which support the Church of St. Andrew and St. Gregory.
		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.

	Gregory the Great (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Gregory was born to a wealthy patrician family and at the age of 30 he was made prefect of Rome, Rome’s highest civil office.
		Yet Gregory was the important exponent of the doctrine of divided powers: the emperor was God’s vicar in things temporal, the pope in things spiritual.
		Gregory’s encouragement of monasticism was significant historically, and his insistence on clerical celibacy and the exemption of the clergy from trial in civil courts bore great fruit later.

	St Gregory the Great
		Gregory’s view prevailed in an audience before the Emperor and Eutychius was forced to burn his book proclaiming this view and subsequently recanted his error on his death bed.
		Gregory’s letter to the Emperor had not been stopped short by the prefect of Rome and he was confirmed as pope.
		Gregory’s theology is not considered as elevated as Augustine’s, for example, or as speculative, but since he is the linchpin between the ancient and medieval papacy and times, it need not be.

		Gregory was born at Rome, of a noble and wealthy family, in the year 540.
		Gregory did much to bring over the Lombards from their Arianism, and he succeeded in part, although the work was not completed until after his time.
		Gregory had intended that Augustine should be archbishop of London, because in the old Roman days London had been the chief city of Britain; and it might seem natural that the chief bishop of our Church should now take his title from the capital of all England.

	Gregory the Great

	CIN - St. Gregory the Great by St. Bede the Venerable
		Gregory was Roman-born, son of Gordian, and came of a noble and devout family.
		Gregory also wrote a notable book, The Pastoral Office, in which he describes in clear terms the qualities essential in those who rule the Church, showing how they should live; how they should carefully instruct all their people; and how they should always bear in mind their own frailty.
		Gregory ruled the Church during the reigns of the Emperors Maurice and Phocas, and in the second year of the latter's reign he passed from this life and entered the true life of heaven.

	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 of Tours tells us that in grammar, rhetoric and dialectic he was so skilful as to be thought second to none in all Rome, and it seems certain also that he must have gone through a course of legal studies.
		The reign of Gregory the Great marks an epoch in papal history, and this is specially the case in respect to his attitude towards the imperial Government centered at Constantinople.

	Gregory the Great, Dialogues (1911) Introduction. pp.xix-xxvi.
		The four books of Dialogues of Saint Gregory the Great, "concerning the life and miracles of the Italian Fathers and the eternity of souls," were written in 593, three years after his elevation to the papacy, at the request of certain monks of his household.
		Gregory was the creator of the spiritual ideal of the mediaeval papacy, even as Benedict had created that of western monasticism.
		From Gregory, too, came his doctrine of the "Mansions of Beatitude," albeit its significance had for him acquired a deeper and intenser note by the passage through the mystical mind of Bonaventura.

	O'Donnell: The Holiness of Gregory
		Jeffrey Richards is perhaps typical in that he cannot absolve Gregory of a certain bloodied pragmatism in his exultant response to the murder of Maurice and the exaltation of Phocas,[[11]] but passes the episode by in a single sentence.
		Gregory's surviving works are all unstinting in praise of such a life, especially when he feels himself shut off from it by the burdens of his office.
		Gregory has nowhere uttered an original thought; he has rather at all points preserved, while emasculating, the traditional system of doctrine, reduced the spiritual to the level of a coarsely material intelligence, changed dogmatic, so far as it suited, into technical directions for the clergy, and associated it with popular religion of the second rank.

		Gregory knew this from the vision he received of an angel in a castle at the Vatican which, from that time on, became Castel Sant'Angelo near the river Tiber.
		During his fourteen year reign Gregory reaffirmed the civil authority of the pope, thus beginning the "temporal power." He was a pope who called for great reform within the Church unifying her with disciplinary measures necessary to expand the mission of the Church.
		Gregory was creative and original in his administration as Pope and his actions became the benchmark for how the Holy Father would rule from the Vatican to the entire world.

	Pope St. Gregory the Great
		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 gave much of his time to lecturing on the Holy Scriptures and is recorded to have expounded to his monks the Heptateuch, Books of Kings, the Prophets, the Book of Proverbs, and the Canticle of V+Canticles.
		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).
