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.

"In fact, if we revert to history, we shall find that the women who have distinguished themselves have neither been the most beautiful nor the most gentle of their sex."

― Mary Wollstonecraft, A Vindication... (1792)
