Gregory VII, Pope
Pope
(+ 1085) Monk of Cluny, Hildebrand, became Pope Gregory VII.
Biography
He brought together a clear vision of the needs of his time with an unwavering mettle; He seriously fought to wrest the Church from the hands of feudal power and restore discipline among the clergy. Excommunicates and deposes the Holy Roman Emperor, Henry IV. He died in Salerno. Let us ask him so that all bishops and priests may be saints.
Practical advice
As soon as you have the opportunity, pray for the Pope, the bishops and the priests as someone who works and prays under the loving gaze of God.
