"St. Gregory the Great was a pope who lived in the second half of the 6th century and the beginning of the 7th. He's been honored with the title 'Great' because he had a profound and lasting influence on the Church and the world of his time. (It's the same reason, I believe, that St. John Paul II should be called 'Great.')
"But Pope Gregory had a problem. He found it very difficult to carry out his spiritual duties while dealing with the temporal problems, the administrative demands of his office. . . ."
