Today is the commemoration of Gregory the Great, Bishop of Rome. He is considered a Doctor of the Church and one of the Latin Fathers. The Wikipedia article provides good detail about him.
He made important contributions to the growth and practice of Christianity. It is interesting to see what parts of his legacy my brand of Protestant Christianity embraces and what it does not. Missionary work to the Anglo-Saxons good. Liturgical reform and standardization good. Advocating Purgatory not so good.
