09 Pope Gregory I

The weakness of the Roman Empire forces Pope Gregory I to be not just the spiritual leader of the Church but to take control of the business of running the state.

After an anti Jewish outburst in Palermo, Pope Gregory I enshrines the significance of the Jewish people and the need for Christians to protect them in a papal bull called “Sicut Judaeis”.
