Pope Gregory I or Gregory the Great (ca. 540 – March 12, 604) was Pope from September 3, 590 until his death. He is also known as Gregory Dialogus (the Dialogist) in Eastern Orthodoxy because of the Dialogues he wrote. He was the first of the Popes from a monastic background. Gregory is considered both the last of the Latin Church fathers and a Doctor of the Church.
Biography
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). He pursued a secular political career, which probably climaxed in the position of Prefect of Rome, the highest civil honor, before he entered a Benedictine monastery that he had founded. From about 579 he was a representative of Pelagius in Constantinople, where he remained six years, making the acquaintance of Leander of Seville, the brother of Isidore of Seville.
