Letter 13010: Source. Translated by James Barmby. From Nicene and Post-Nicene Fathers, Second Series, Vol.
Gregory to Lupo, Priest and Abbot.
[This letter is a copy of the same privilege letter (see Letter 9 to Thalassia) adapted for the abbot Lupo's institution, granting the same protections and immunities established at the request of Queen Brunichild and King Theoderic for the religious foundations at Autun.]
When the hearts of Catholic kings are so inflamed by grace that they seek of their own accord what pastoral counsel should have urged, such things are to be granted readily and with joy.
