Gregorio Magno nel XIV centenario della morte. Spunti per una riflessione

This contribution reproduces the inaugural lecture of the “Giornata di studio” organized by the SBF for the 14th centenary of the death of Gregory the Great. It underlines the person and message of the great Pope. Quotations from the writings of Gregory found in sources of the Franciscan traditions and in the documents of the Vatican II are briefly presented. The contribution also brings to light Gregoryʼs attitude towards the Jews, which was substantially respectful.
