Frases de Papa Gregório I

Papa Gregório I , conhecido como Gregório Magno ou Gregório, o Grande foi papa entre 3 de setembro de 590 e sua morte, em 12 de março de 604. É conhecido principalmente por suas obras, mais numerosas que as de seus predecessores. Gregório é também conhecido como Gregório, o Dialogador na Ortodoxia por causa de seus "Diálogos" e é por isso que seu nome aparece em algumas obras listado como "Gregório Dialogus". Foi o primeiro papa a ter sido monge antes do pontificado.

Gregório é reconhecido como um Doutor da Igreja e um dos Padres latinos. É também venerado como santo por católicos, ortodoxos, anglicanos e alguns luteranos. Foi canonizado assim que morreu, por aclamação popular, como era o costume. O reformador protestante João Calvino admirava Gregório e declarou em seus "Institutos" que ele teria sido o "último bom papa". Wikipedia

Papa Gregório I: Frases em inglês

“Moreover, because the slothful mind is typically brought to its downfall gradually, when we fail to control our speech, we move on to more harsh words. Thus, at first, we are happy to speak of others kindly; afterwards, we begin to pick at the lives of those of whom we speak, and finally our tongues break into open slander against them.”

Homily of St. Gregory as quoted in A History of the Inquisition of the Middle Ages, Volume 1 by Henry Charles Lea page 241

“In vain do they think themselves innocent who appropriate to their own use alone those goods which God gave in common; by not giving to others that which they themselves receive, they become homicides and murderers, inasmuch as in keeping for themselves those things which would alleviate the sufferings of the poor, we may say that every day they cause the death of as many persons as they might have fed and did not. When, therefore, we offer the means of living to the indigent, we do not give them anything of ours, but that which of right belongs to them. It is less a work of mercy which we perform than the payment of a debt.”

“And let the fear and dread of you be upon all of the animals of the earth.” Clearly, fear and dread were prescribed for the animals, but evidently it was forbidden among humans. By nature a human is superior to a brute animal, but not other humans.”
