Pope St Gregory I, Doctor of the Church, was indeed a great Pope, and is one of the two popes formally considered ‘great’ by the Church. St Gregory the Great is a model of many virtues and for many vocations. This article will consider two of Gregory’s attributes, both of which are fundamental to the catechist: his understanding of the bishop as a physician of souls and his emphasis on the virtue of humility.
