Gregorian Reforms

Years: 1050 - 1080

The Gregorian Reforms are a series of reforms initiated by Pope Gregory VII and the circle he forms in the papal curia, circa 1050–80, which deal with the moral integrity and independence of the clergy.

These reforms are considered to be named after Pope Gregory VII (1073–85), though he personally denies this and claims his reforms, like his regnal name, honor Gregory the Great.

"History is always written wrong, and so always needs to be rewritten."

— George Santayana, The Life of Reason (1906)
