Joseph C. Miller Memorial Lecture by Roy Flechne

What moral principles guided Pope Gregory the Great (590–604)'s policy and how did he integrate them into his role as supreme manager of the papal patrimonies (i.e. papal lands) and their workforce? What is the meaning of "moral economy", and how can the pope's policies help us understand this concept? Roy Flechnerw who lectures on the history of the first millennium AD at University College Dublin will shed light on these questions during his JCMM lecture today.
