De qué trata
La Regla pastoral: cómo ha de ser quien tiene cargo de otros, cómo debe llegarse a él, y cómo hay que hablar de manera distinta a cada clase de persona. Con una selección de cartas.
Contexto e historia
Gregorio la escribió justo después de ser hecho papa, en 590, y empieza explicando por qué no quería el cargo. La cuarta parte es una lista minuciosa de cómo predicar al soberbio y al humilde, al rico y al pobre, al sano y al enfermo: no es retórica sino una teoría del trato. Fue uno de los libros más copiados de la alta Edad Media y el rey Alfredo lo hizo traducir al inglés antiguo para que lo tuvieran todos los obispos.

The relations of these kingdoms to the Empire were at this time amicable; and it was in ecclesiastical, and not temporal, matters that Gregory had dealings with them, as will appear below. His talents and activity in secular affairs were shewn also in his management of the possessions in various quarters with which the See of Rome had been endowed, known as "St. Peter's patrimony." In Sicily especially, and also in Campania, Calabria, Dalmatia and elsewhere, and to a small extent in Gaul, the Roman Church held lands so called, over all fo which Gregory exercised personal superintendence by letters to his various agents, shewing a remarkable knowledge of the state of things in the several localities, and giving minute directions. While, on the one hand, he took care that the Church should not be defrauded of her just dues, on the other hand we find him repeatedly and strongly forbidding any unjust claims, or any oppression of him, by agents on the spot, called rectores patrimonii, and often by deacons, or subdeacons, sent from Rome, to control the ordinary rectores, or act in the same capacity. We find bishops also in some cases acting as rectores. There was also a class of officials called defensores ecclesiae, or Guardians of the Church, who were required to be authorized by letters from Rome under the Pope's hand (see V. 29; IX. 62; XL 38). These letters of appointment, of which we have specimens in V. 29 and XL 38, specified the protection of the poor as their primary duty. But their office had a much wider scope. We find them commissioned, not only to carry out various works of charity, but also to
