	St. Gregory of Nyssa
		Saint Gregory, Bishop of Nyssa, was a younger brother of St Basil the Great (Commemorated Jan. 1).
		St Gregory was an ardent advocate for Orthodoxy, and he fought against the Arian heresy with his brother St Basil.
		St Gregory of Nyssa was a fiery defender of Orthodox dogmas and a zealous teacher of his flock, a kind and compassionate father to his spiritual children, and their intercessor before the courts.

	Pope Gregory I - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Gregory was born to a patrician and thoroughly Christian Roman family (father, Gordianus, and mother, Silvia, also sanctified) 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.

	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 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.

	Who Was St. Gregory the Great? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Gregory received the best education of the day and, by the time he was 23 years old, he was Prefect of the city, the highest civil dignitary in Rome, president of the senate with supreme civil jurisdiction within a hundred miles of Rome, in charge of grain supplies, aqueducts, sewers, and finance.
		Gregory said that he was not dispensing his own property, but the property of the poor, that the goods belonged to St. Peter, who was caring for his flock through Gregory.
		Although Gregory clearly held the Orthodox view concerning the papacy, that the bishop of Rome was to be first in honor among the bishops, he rejected the notion of universal supremacy for any bishop and chastised the Patriarch of Constantinople for using the title “Ecumenical Patriarch” which had been given to him by the Emperor.

		The Order of the Knights of St. Gregory the Great was established on September 1, 1831 by Pope Gregory XVI, seven months after his election.

		It is interesting to note that neither of the two documents issued by Gregory XVI says a word about a special uniform for the Knight of St Gregory.

	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 made several improvements in the liturgy, and his name is immortalized in the Gregorian chant.

		The miracle was one of the most famous involving St. Gregory and was especially popular during the Catholic Reformation, when it was cited in support of the Catholic position on the mystical power of relics.
		Gregory's own spirituality was marked by a vivid sense of the imminent end of the world, intensified perhaps by the ill health that hindered him throughout his pontificate.

	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.

	St. Gregory The Great
		Gregory was so touched by the boys' beauty, and by pity for their ignorance, that he resolved to go himself to preach the Gospel in their land.
		Gregory's sense of justice showed itself in enlightened treatment of the Jews, whom he would not allow to be oppressed or deprived of their synagogues.
		Gregory defined the calendar of festivals and the service of priests and deacons, enforced the celibacy of the clergy, and in general strengthened the papacy.

	Pope St. Gregory the Great
		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.
		The land lay in many places--Campania, Africa, Sicily, and elsewhere--and, as their landlord, Gregory displayed a skill in finance and estate management which excites our admiration no less than it did the surprise of his tenants and agents, who suddenly found that they had a new master who was not to be deceived or cheated.
		His position did indeed tend to modify St. Benedict's work by drawing it into a closer connection with the organization with the organization of the Church, and with the papacy in particular, but this was not deliberately aimed at by Gregory.
