| | Pope Gregory III - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Gregory promoted the Church in northern Europe - such as the missions of Saint Boniface in Germany and Willibald in Bohemia. | | | Saint Gregory III, pope (731-741), a Syrian by birth, succeeded Gregory II in March 731. | | | When this elicited no response, Gregory called a synod in November 731, denouncing iconoclasm, and excommunicating destroyers of icons. |

| | 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. | | | Gregory, while always upholding the spiritual jurisdiction of the bishop, was firm in support of the monks against any illegal aggression. | | | In this capacity, probably in 586, Gregory wrote his important letter to the schismatical bishops of Istria who had separated from communion with the Church on the question of the Three Chapters (Epp., Appendix, III, iii). |

| | Reviews in History: Pope Gregory VII. 1073-1085 |
| | Gregory wanted Germany locked into his preferred world-scheme, in which kings had str ong authority, inheriting their kingdom undivided (he urged the king of Norway not to divide his kingdom between sons), forming a political matrix for the church, but - the big 'but' in Henry's case - not directly involved in its government. | | | Anyone doubting Gregory's capacity for tactical somersaults in the matter of clerical and secular spheres of activity can turn to a letter of 1074, suggesting that Gregory, as pope, lead an army to rescue Byzantium from the Turks, and the king is to look after the Roman church while the pope is away. | | | On Gregory's side, I have mentioned his gradual hardening on the subject of lay investiture, but could have mentioned, as if in recompense, his corresponding softening on clerical celibacy, as the embattled pope s aw that the entire reform movement might founder on an issue so contentious among many clergy (not to mention their wives). |

| | Biography – Pope Gregory XIV – The Papal Library |
| | Gregory erected into a religious order the congregation of the Regular Clerks, Ministers to the Infirm, founded at Rome by Saint Camillus de Lellis, priest of Buclano, in the diocese of Chieti. | | | The pope named his nephew Hercules Sfondrati general of the Holy Church, and sent him into France at the head of an army of six thousand Swiss, two thousand Italian infantry, and a thousand horse. | | | Alphonsus was the last of the house of Este who had enjoyed that duchy, and before dying he wished to present that possession to a friendly family, instead of restoring it to the Holy See, which was the sovereign of the duchy. |

| | Gregory, however, in the Lateran Council of 601, cause a decree to be issued to all bishops exempting monks from their authority. | | | Gregory's later determination (as pope) to free monks from episcopal control was definitely contrary to tradition. | | | It came to be used by the popes as a means of signifying a metropolitan (i.e., archbishop or patriarch), although in some instances it was conferred on a diocesan bishop where there was no metropolitan. |

| | Not unnaturally angry, Gregory was going to degrade George from the priesthood, but the clergy of a synod held to consider the situation, persuaded the Pope to let George off with a penance. | | | The Pope granted the request of Egbert of York that he should be made archbishop, thus restoring to England the two metropolitan sees planned by Gregory the Great. | | | Gregory asked Boniface's cousin, the holy monk Willibald, to help in the conversion of the Germans. |

| | At a meeting of the German lords, spiritual and temporal, held at Tibur in October, 1076, the election of a new emperor was canvassed. | | | With admirable discernment, Gregory began his great work of purifying the Church by a reformation of the clergy. | | | The Norman leader, Robert Guiscard, however, maintained a suspicious attitude towards the pope, and at the Lenten Synod (1075) Gregory solemnly excommunicated him for his sacrilegious invasion of the territory of the Holy See (Capun and Benevento). |

| | Pope Vitalian consecrated a monk from Tarsus named Theodore as a bishop, and he was sent to Britain with Hadrian; Theodore became archbishop of Canterbury, and Hadrian assisted with the teaching as abbot of the monastery. | | | In 739 Pope Gregory III appealed to Charles Martel for help against the Lombards, and the Pope declared Charles the Roman patricius, as the Catholic church, discontent with the Byzantines, turned toward the growing power of the Franks. | | | Pope Adrian congratulated Charlemagne, but Alcuin warned that levying fines and tithes before teaching the faith was hardly the gentle way of Christ. |

| | Thus the two authorities, the temporal and the spiritual, after they had worked separately for a long, time, united their efforts to stamp out the anti-Christian, anti-social and anarchistic heresies which had for over two hundred years troubled the peace of Christendom and menaced the foundations of Church and State. | | | But neither the bishops who met at Toulouse, nor Pope Innocent III, nor St. Dominic, as has sometimes been incorrectly stated, were the founders of the Inquisition. | | | For punishment Innocent had in mind the confiscation of property, banishment, and exclusion, from burial in consecrated ground, not death. |

| | If anyone should take from you the adornments of royalty, your purple robes, diadem, scepter, and your ranks of servants, you would be regarded by men as base, hateful and abject; but to this condition you have reduced the churches, for you have deprived them of their ornaments and made them unsightly. | | | Hearken to us, emperor: abandon your present course and accept the holy church as you found her, for matters of faith and practice concern not the emperor, but the pope, since we have the mind of Christ [1 Cor. | | | These emperors ruled righteously; they held synods in harmony with the popes, they tried to establish true doctrines, they founded and adorned churches. |
