It's amazing how many uninformed people slam the Dialogues, while our brilliant Pope apparently likes it. That makes me smile. It takes someone great to be appreciative of books that are written differently than we'd write them today, ourselves. And yet... if the Dialogues are so stupid, how did people find good meat in them for so many centuries, huh? Why did they go to so much trouble to copy it out? The Dialogues!!

I happen to have bought St. Gregory's little book on St. Benedict (my patron saint, btw). Now I must read it forthwith. Thank you for posting.
