The Pope is the head of the Church: he represents the ultimate religious authority. However, as a Bishop of Rome, the Pope is also in command of certain secular affairs, including some military aspects. Certainly, the Pope is a link between the earthly and the divine realms. Problems arise when the imperfect world the Pope physically lives in interferes with his heavenly objectives. Taking Pope Gregory I as an example, I am going to look at his letters to analyze how he reconciled his political and

age Rome has been associated with the birth place of the Papacy but history shows that Constantine moved the capital of the Roman Empire to Constantinople in the 4th century. In Constantinople the father of the church was referred to as the Pope. The word Pope simply means “father,” and in early times was used to refer to any important and respected bishop.

Kyrie Eleison is a Gregorian chant used and developed as early as the sixth century. This popular chant was used in both eastern and western churches, with some “minor differences” according to Pope Gregory the Great.

Composers were more open to experimentation, and had more imaginative opportunity and basically were no longer afraid of the churches response. In this time frame the church had less control over musical movement and this allowed the composers to go in their own direction with minimum consequences. In this time frame the Kings

Europe has federal, multi-regional and multinational identities. The transmission of the religious ideologies of Europe has been essential to the development of the continent as both a practical and an imagined idea. The formation of these characterizations is complex, but music is a practical way to better understand the traditional, functional and socio-historical underpinnings that have formed the tapestry of European identity.

Saint Gregory of Nyssa opens his narrative The Life of St. Macrina, with a justification as to why he is documenting accounts of St. Macrina’s life. St. Gregory, St. Macrina’s brother, sets out to create a narrative that is both “artless and simple”, but rather, we receive a rich, detailed expression of admiration and praise (77).
