Aelred, Our Patron
Day
Saint
Jan. 12
St. Aelred of Rievaulx
Abbot
Aelred was a celibate, a monk in the Cistercian order living in Rievaulx, England. He entered the order in 1134 at the age of 24; in 1147 he became abbot of Rievaulx until his death 20 years later. In his Rule of Life for a Recluse , written for an unnamed hermitess, Aelred warns in strident tones about safeguarding her virginity from defilement either with men or with women. He never felt his own sexuality was entirely in his control, either. As novice-master, responsible for the training of impressionable young men, he found it necessary to build a concealed tank in which he could immerse himself in icy waters to bridle his physical passions. Even in his final days, sick and aged, he felt his celibacy was in need of vigilant protection. But Aelred had a deep appreciation for friendship, and by that is meant the particular love between two individuals. For more information about Aelred, visit:

SYLLABUS

Philosophy 102: Introduction to Philosophical Inquiry
St. Anselm, "The Ontological Argument" Introduction : From raising the initial question of Socrates, "What should be your central concern in life?," we have moved to the question of Tolstoy and Camus, "What is the meaning of Life?" In order to answer this question, another question can be raised first about the existence of God, for this second question has great relevance to the first one. The second question can be put Axiologically Is the source of the meaning of life God? Epistemologically Can we prove that God exists? Ontologically Does God exist? Hence, we turn our attention to the arguments for the existence of God.
  • This task is properly in the philosophy of religion; philosophy of religion has as its main concern an epistemological task. What does this statement mean?
    a. whether religious knowledge is a special kind of knowledge,
    b. how religious knowledge is obtained, and

    Read this classic 11th century version of the ontological argument by Saint Anselm. Also read Monadology up to section 52 (with Rescher’s additions) and Leibniz’s letter to Countess Elizabeth (?), pp. 235–240 in Ariew -Garber. St. Anselm of Canterbury Proslogion transl . by David Burr Chapter 2: That God Really Exists Therefore, Lord, you who give knowledge of the faith, give me as much knowledge as you know to be fitting for me, because you are as we believe and that which we believe. And indeed we believe you are something greater than which cannot be thought. Or is there no such kind of thing, for "the fool said in his heart, 'there is no God'" (Ps. 13:1, 52:1)? But Chapter 3: That God Cannot be Thought Not to Exist In fact, it so undoubtedly exists that it cannot be thought of as not existing. For one can think there exists something that cannot be thought of as not existing, and that would be greater than something which can be thought of as not existing. For if that greater than which cannot be thought can be thought of as not existing, then that greater than which cannot be thought is not that greater than which cannot be thought, which does not make sense. Thus that than which nothing can be thought so undoubtedly exists that it cannot even be thought of as not existing.

    67. A Brief History Of St. Anselm's
    st. anselm s Priory Under the patronage of st. anselm of canterbury monasticlife began at the new community on Sargent Road on September 24, 1924.
    http://www.stanselms.org/abbyhist.htm
    The initiative of Fr. Thomas Verner Moore
    St. Anselm's Abbey owes its beginning to the initiative of Father Thomas Verner Moore. A larger than life figure, Fr. Thomas began his religious life as a Paulist priest. His chosen apostolate was that of scholarly research in the then new discipline of Psychology. While studying and teaching at the Catholic University of America he came to the conviction that he needed a deeper spirituality, the kind afforded by Benedictine monasticism. He conceived the notion of a Benedictine community of university professors who would lead the monastic life in community while carrying on their work of research and teaching. Preparations in Washington and at Fort Augustus Abbey, Scotland
    Fr. Thomas found a sponsor in the English Benedictine Congregation, specifically Fort Augustus Abbey in Scotland. He and three other priests went there for a novitiate in August 1923. Meanwhile Fr. Benedict Brosnahan, an American who had become a monk at Downside Abbey in England, decided to join the community. He was at the time a member of a new foundation sponsored by Downside in Portsmouth, Rhode Island. Fr. Benedict supervised preparations at a property near Catholic University, a former pig farm with a house on Sargent Road. This house became the first monastery and was forever after known as "the sausage factory."

    Academics "Youth resembles wax perfectly prepared to receive the impress of the seal. If the wax be too hard or too soft, it will only take a partial impression. Between these two extremes comes adolescence, whose dispositions are nicely balanced, and whose hearts may be moulded to true doctrine. That is why where the young are concerned I use a double solicitude." St. Anselm of Canterbury, 1033-1109 It's 8:00 on Monday morning and St. Anselm's students are about to settle into their first class of the day. In the library, five Upper School students sit around an antique table as Fr. Boniface begins class by asking each young man in German about his weekend. Across the hall, fifteen Form A students warm up their voices for Middle School Chorus rehearsal. A few rooms down, a class of Form II students have paired off into small groups and are busily reviewing notes before a Latin quiz. By midday, several Form IV students have congregated in a teacher's office for an impromptu guitar lesson. In the comfortable surroundings of the Headmaster's Study, three Upper Division students take notes as Fr. Peter begins a discussion of Iroquois culture in his Native American Studies course. In the Upper School wing, AP Calculus students are intensely focused on a problem involving the integration of functions. By mid-afternoon, Fr. Abbot and two Form VI students retreat to the gazebo to enjoy the warm weather and a discussion of Greek literature. In the Reid Theater, a Middle School student is being introduced to the finer points of theatrical production as he improvises a scene suggested to him by the head of the Drama Department.

    St. Anselm: A Portrait in a Landscape by R.W. Southern (Cambridge University Press, New York, 1990, ISBN 521 43818 7) 493 pp., $24.95. One of the fun parts of doing this website has been reading and recommending a book each month. I've enjoyed getting feedback from people who were encouraged to read the book and who had their particular viewpoint on it. The only problem has been focusing on one book. This month I had from the library Peter Kreeft's Ecumenical Jihad and his introduction to C.S. Lewis, both fine books. (To me the best part of Jihad was his presentation of what other world religions have to teach us as Catholics.) Besides these two library books, I received three as gifts: Mary and the Fundamentalist Challenge by Fr. Peter Stravinskas, From Death to Life by Bishop Christoph Schonborn and Mass Confusion by James Akin. I have received so many questions about liturgical abuses that I will soon review Akin's helpful book. However, the book I would like to recommend this month is one I literally begged from a parishioner. When he told me he was reading a study of St. Anselm, I asked him to hurry it up so he could lend it to me. He did, complete with post-it notes at the sections he thought most important. The work is about one of the great saints of the middle ages, but it is far from standard hagiography. It analyzes his contribution to the history of philosophy and theology. It evaluates his effectiveness as abbot of Bec, then of Canterbury where as archbishop he defended a claim to be primate of the British Isles. But more than that it attempts to give a portrait of the saint, his inner life.

    St. Anselm (1033? - 1109)
    Prelate in Normandy and England, archbishop of Canterbury, Doctor of the Church (1720), b. Aosta, Piedmont. After a carefree youth of travel and schooling in Burgundy he became a disciple and companion of Lanfranc, the famed theologian and prior of the monastery at Bec, which Anselm soon joined (1060). Anselm became prior (1063) and abbot (1078) and brought widespread fame to the school there. Monastic holdings in England drew him into English public life, and he won the esteem of William the Conqueror. When Lanfranc died, Anselm succeeded him as Archbishop of Canterbury (1093). He disputed the right of William II to invest him, reserving this for Pope Urban II, whom William refused to recognize. Anselm momentarily overcame the king’s intransigence and took the pallium from Urban’s legate. Anselm’s further reform-minded efforts to free the church from ecclesiastical abuses met stiff resistance. When he went to Rome for support, William banished him and confiscated the diocesan properties. At the Council of Bari (1098) Anselm ably defended the Filioque of the creed in the East-West controversy on the procession of the Holy Spirit.

    In some ways, this Appendix is bound to be misleading. Like the others, it is designed to provide information. However, the information it provides is a translation of a major Latin work of the early Middle Ages (St. Anselm died in 1109 CE). If Appendix 1 also contains translations from Latin, these, being translations of different versions of the same lapidary lore, are by their nature utilitarian and thus no imminent threat to deleteriously replace the topic to hand. But Anselm's De Concordia is a major philosophical/theological work which deserves attention in its own right in its original Latin. Hence the translation here can promote a false sense of security which I hope to have dispelled by these remarks.The translations quoted here should not, of course, be understood to be a substitute for the Latin text with which Usk worked.

    Life
    Back to Table of Contents
    Philosophical Writings As a metaphysician Anselm was a realist, and one of his earliest works, De fide Trinitatis , was an attack on the doctrine of the Trinity as expounded by the nominalist Roscelin. His most celebrated works are the Monologium and Proslogium , both aiming to prove the existence and nature of God. The Cur deus homo , in which he develops views of atonement and satisfaction which are still held by orthodox theologians. The two first named were written at Bec. The last was begun in England " in great tribulation of heart," and finished at Schiavi, a mountain villaffe of Apulia, where Anselm enjoyed a few months of rest in 1098. His meditations and prayers are edifying and often highly impressive. In the Monologium he argues that from the idea of being there follows the idea of a highest and absolute, i.e. self-existent Being, from which all other being derives its existences revival of the ancient cosmological argument. In the Proslogium the idea of the perfect being-" than which nothing greater can be thought "-cannot be separated from its existence. For if the idea of the perfect Being, thus present in consciousness, lacked existence, a still more perfect Being could be thought, of which existence would be a necessary metaphysical predicate, and thus the most perfect Being would be the absolutely Real. In its most simple form, this first version of the ontological argument is as follows:

    Biographical sketch. With prayer in contemporary and traditional language.
    http://elvis.rowan.edu/~kilroy/JEK/04/21.html
    Anselm Of Canterbury, Monk, Archbishop, Theologian
    21 April 1109
    Anselm is the most important Christian theologian in the West between Augustine and Thomas Aquinas. His two great accomplishments are his Proslogium (in which he undertakes to show that Reason requires that men should believe in God), and his Cur Deus Homo? (in which he undertakes to show that Divine Love responding to human rebelliousness requires that God should become a man). He was born in Italy about 1033, and in 1060 he entered the monastery of Bec in Normandy to study under Stephen Lanfranc, whom he succeeded in office, first as prior of Bec, and later as Archbishop of Canterbury. In 1078 he was elected abbot of Bec. The previous year, he completed a work called the Monologium , in which he argues for the existence of God from the existence of degrees of perfection (Aquinas's Fourth Way is a variation of this argument). In 1087, while still at Bec, he produced his Proslogium God And Other Minds , by Alvin Plantinga. For Goedel's version of the argument, and a reply pointing out a flaw in the argument, and for Anderson's restatement of the Goedel's argument in terms that avoid the original flaw, see Anderson's article, "Some Emendations of Goedel's Ontological Proof" in the magazine Philosophy And Faith , volume 7, July 1990, pp 291-303. Note that this article and the two earlier ones to which it refers all make extensive use of symbolic logical notation, and will be heavy reading for those not accustomed to said notation.
