Note: This was published June 8, 2021. ~ Ed.
Pope St. Gregory the Great was taking a bit of heat for some changes he introduced into the liturgy. Apparently, prior to his time, the Roman liturgy did not actually make use of the Our Father in the eucharist. He thought it a pity not to include that most excellent of all prayers in the Divine Service, the holy Mass. But apparently, after so doing, he was being accused by Bishop John of Syracuse of introducing “Greek practices” into the liturgy by including it.
