There is also a long Tragedy, called Christus
Patiens which is the first known attempt at a Christian drama; the
parts are sustained by Christ, The Blessed Virgin, S. Joseph, S. Mary
Magdalene, Nicodemus, Pontius Pilate, Theologus, Nuntius, and
others. The Benedictine Editors however doubt the genuineness of
this Tragedy and Caillau, who published the second volume of
this Edition after the troubles of the French Revolution, thinks it is
to be ascribed to another Gregory, Bishop of Antioch in the Sixth
Century, and relegates it to an Appendix. None of The
Theologian’s Odes or Hymns have, however, found a place in the
liturgical poetry of the Church.
