Papacy under Gregory I adopts restrictive doctrine on Jews
With Gregory I as pope, the papacy became the Western Church's highest authority and adopted the doctrine "religio illicita": Jews were pressed to convert by curbs on their religious life and by political and economic rewards to converts. They were to be shielded from violence and allowed to survive, yet never permitted equality with Christians.
