Today’s guest is Chase Faucheux, translator of a recent
biography of Pope St. Gregory the Great. Topics include:

• The very low point in Rome’s history in which Gregory came of
  age
• His being all things to all men in the city of Rome, as both a
  spiritual and temporal leader
• His longing for the monastic life even after he became
  Pope
• His remarkable forthrightness about his own shortcomings
• His diplomatic attempts to keep barbarians from destroying his
  city
