The way he understood it was influenced by Augustin and Roman law. The sense of justice is rooted in man’s nature and is the principle of law, which should normalize social life. The people of the Church, particularly bishops, are obliged to abide by justice. In dispensing justice they should direct themselves not by human fear or favour but by the fear of God. One should always respect man’s dignity and direct oneself by love. A condition of true justice is freedom. In holding the pastoral and judicial office Gregory the Great conformed to these principles.plAttribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs 3.0 Polandhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/pl/Grzegorz Wielkipapieżesprawiedliwośćobrońcy sprawiedliwościlistyżycie społecznegodnośćgodność ludzkamiłośćGregory the Greatpopesjusticedefenders of justiceletterssocial lifedignityhuman dignityloveArticle
