Pope Gregory I on Fear

d. 604 Italy

← All quotes by Pope Gregory I

1 quote

And let the fear and dread of you be upon all of the animals of the earth.” Clearly, fear and dread were prescribed for the animals, but evidently it was forbidden among humans. By nature a human is superior to a brute animal, but not other humans.
