| | CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: 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 Canticles. | | | There cannot be the smallest doubt that Gregory claimed for the Apostolic See, and for himself as pope, a primacy not of honor, but of supreme authority over the Church Universal. | | | Gregory, while always upholding the spiritual jurisdiction of the bishop, was firm in support of the monks against any illegal aggression. |

| | Pope Gregory XI |
| | Gregory was meditating a return to Avignon when he died. | | | Maria Nuova by his uncle, Pope Clement VI, was the successor of Urban V. His efforts to establish peace between France and England and to aid the Eastern Christians against the Turks were fruitless, but he prevented the Visconti of Milan from making further encroachments on the States of the Church. | | | He was the last of the French popes who for some seventy years had made Avignon their see, a man learned and full of zeal for the church, but irresolute and guilty of nepotism. |

| | End of Europe's Middle Ages - The Church |
| | Unfortunately, the popes of the last half of the fifteenth century involved themselves in the volatile politics of Renaissance Italy rather than the concerns of an international church. | | | Although the Church was once again united under one pope, the Avignonese Captivity and the Great Schism had discredited the papacy and undermined its supremacy. | | | Furthermore, many people from inside and outside the Church questioned the legitimacy of a pope absent from the seat of St. Peter and began to campaign for the Pope's return to Rome. |

| | The last Pope of that century, Alexander Borgia, was far more concerned with promoting the career of his son, Caesar Borgia, than with the spiritual health of the Church. | | | Since the Pope was the highest authority in the Church, he was the one who should obviously solve the problem. | | | The Popes in Avignon were very efficient administrators, and the Church regained much of the power it had lost during its feud with the Empire. |

| | CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Pope St. Gregory VII |
| | His mission was not yet accomplished when Stephen died at Florence, and although the dying pope had forbidden the people to appoint a successor before Hildebrand returned, the Tusculan faction seized the opportunity to set up a member of the Crescentian family, John Mincius, Bishop of Velletri, under the title of Benedict X. | | | 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). | | | He wrote to the Christian princes, urging them to rally the hosts of Western Christendom for the defense of the Christian East; and in March, 1074, addressed a circular letter to all the faithful, exhorting them to come to the rescue of their Eastern brethren. |

| | She urges Gregory XI not to "look the other way" out of fear of displeasing his church officials, but to root out injustice to the poor on the part of his clergy. | | | She prodded Gregory to launch a crusade to regain the Holy Land. | | | With this word of Jesus as her strength, and living in the Holy Spirit's power of love, the unschooled, young Catherine (she was only twenty-nine at that time) grew in such courage that she exhorted the pope himself to work for justice and peace in the world. |

| | From the Book, "Popes Through the Ages," by Rev Joseph S. Brusher S. Pope Gregory XI had left Avignon to return to Italy and had re-established the Pontifical See in the Eternal City, where he died on March 27, 1378. | | | Every Bull or letter of the Pope was to be sent to the King; no account was to be taken of privileges granted by the Pope; in future every dispensation was to be asked of the Ordinaries. | | | The King of France and his uncles began to weary of supporting such a Pope as Benedict who acted only according to his humor and who caused the failure of every plan for union. |

| | Before Pope Gregory the XI could return to Rome he first felt that he must “mount another crusade to liberate the holy places in Palestine from Muslim Control, to bring about reunion with the Eastern Church, and to replenish the depleted papal treasury”(Lives of the Pope, 246). | | | While St. Catherine supported the move of the pope to the Vatican in Italy many people did not; however, as history tells the story Pope Gregory XI was persuaded to move by a series of letters written by St. Catherine. | | | She obviously had very strong views on the movement of the papacy or she would not have been so expressive in her letters to Pope Gregory XI. |
