Pope Gregory I (Latin: Gregorius PP. I; Italian: Gregorio I, c. 540
- 12 March 604), commonly known as Saint Gregory the Great, was
Pope from 3 September 590 until his death. Gregory is well known
for his writings, which were more prolific than those of any of his
predecessors as pope. Throughout the Middle Ages he was known as
"the Father of Christian Worship" because of his exceptional
efforts in revising the Roman worship of his day. He is also known
as St. Gregory the Dialogist in Eastern Orthodoxy because of his
Dialogues. For this reason, English translations of Orthodox texts
will sometimes list him as "Gregory Dialogus." He was the first of
the popes to come from a monastic background. Gregory is a Doctor
of the Church and one of the Latin Fathers. He is considered a
saint in the Roman Catholic Church, Eastern Orthodox Church,
Anglican Communion, and some Lutheran churches. Immediately after
his death, Gregory was canonized by popular acclaim. The Protestant
reformer John Calvin admired Gregory and declared in his Institutes
that Gregory was the last good pope. He is the patron saint of
musicians, singers, students, and teachers.
Liber Regulae Pastoralis or Regula Pastoralis (The Book of the
Pastoral Rule, commonly known in English as "Pastoral Care," a
translation of the alternative Latin title Cura Pastoralis) is a
treatise on the responsibilities of the clergy written by Pope
Gregory I around the year 590, shortly after his papal
inauguration. It became one of the most influential works on the
topic ever written. The title was that used by Gregory when sending
a copy to his friend Leander of Seville. The text was addressed to
John, the bishop of Ravenna, as a response to a query from him.
Gregory later revised the text somewhat. The personal, intellectual
and moral standards Gregory enjoined did not at all points closely
reflect 6th century realities: for example, one letter from the
Bishop of Cartagena (Book II, letter 54 in Gregory's collected
correspondence) praises the book, but expresses a reserve that it
might prove beyond ordinary capacities. The influence of the book,
however, was vast. After reading the Regulae, the Byzantine emperor
Maurice directed that it be translated and distributed to every
bishop within the empire (Demacopoulos). Indeed, among the works of
all the Latin authors in the patristic period, Gregory's alone were
translated into Greek during his own lifetime. In the West, the
book also retained its significance and broad dissemination. That
the book had been taken to England by Augustine of Canterbury- who
was sent to the Kingdom of Kent by Gregory in 597- was noted in the
preface to it written by Alfred the Great, who in the late 9th
century translated it into Old English as part of a project to
improve education in Anglo-Saxon England. In addition to details of
his translation methodology, the extensive preface describes the
rationale and intentions behind the project: even hundreds of years
after it was written, the work was still seen as the most essential
guide for pastors, and Alfred wished every bishop in his kingdom to
have a copy for the benefit of the less-educated clergy.
