Bookmark This Page Feature Article Aristotle and Albertus Magnus How the heavy hand of tradition can cripple the finest minds RATE THIS ARTICLE Y ou'll have to forgive me for this little excursion into "deep thoughts". Unfortunately, this stuff which in the wrong hands can easily become deadly dull, is responsible for what most of us believe about almost everything. If you think that's an exaggeration, stick around. You're going to become a believer. Belief, you see, is what this is all about. Historians talk about a way of thinking that developed in Europe around the beginning of the second millennium, dubbed Scholasticism . One of the reasons I've always had a little trouble understanding this bit of history is probably the name. It's kind of awful. You'll see in a minute why. One source describes the phenomenon like this: "There were numerous scholastic philosophies in the Middle Ages, but basic to all scholastic thought was the interplay of faith and reason. For the greatest of the scholastics, this meant the use of reason to deepen the understanding of what is believed on faith and ultimately to give a rational content to faith I don't know about you, but to me that sounds a little bit like "if it doesn't fit with your faith then it can't be part of your science". Not very scholarly is it? I mean it's hard enough to come to some sort of understanding of the universe based on observation. So it is not too helpful if you have to constantly "synchronize" your thoughts with a number of pre-ordained beliefs.

home artist inspired ALBERTUS MAGNUS "THE BOX OF SECRETS" Albertus Magnus, born under the name of Albert de Groot, was born in Larvington an der Donau, Swabia (now Germany) between the years of 1193 and 1206, although, this date as well as his date of death (presumably November 15th, 1280 ) is still being debated to this very day. It has been said of Albertus, that he was a "Magnus in Magia, Major in Philosophia, and Maximus in Theologia". Among his many talents he was also a physician, an astrologer, and physisist. He was also a master of the magical arts (black and white). Albertus' detractors have accused him of holding communications with Satan and using "The Black Arts" to create a "living automa", on the other side of the coin, it has also been alleged that the Virgin Mary appeared to a young Albertus and bestowed upon him the entire sum of all the knowledge of the Universe past, present and future. Albertus was self taught in natural science ( of which he became the Patron Saint in 1941 ), and was regarded as an expert in logic, rhetoric, mathematics, ethics,and metaphysics. He was also the only man to be refered to as "Magnus" i.e. "The Great" in his own lifetime and won the title of Bishop of Ratisbon. After becoming an instructor at The University of Paris, Albertus became mentor to St. Thomas Aquinas, to whom he left the secret of the Philosophers Stone, a magical substance which could turn lead into gold and could unlock the secret to immortality.

NY report Varsity Central All-Stars Columnists National Suburban Golf Albertus Magnus' Rose hits the ball and the high notes By JOHN HUMENN THE JOURNAL NEWS (Original publication: May 22, 2004) Christine Rose remembers the day her new life began. Seven years ago, she was sitting in the auditorium of St. Paul's School in Valley Cottage during a DAR.E graduation ceremony, waiting for her cue. She fidgeted the way most fifth-graders do as the time arrived for her to sing a verse from an anti-drug song she and her schoolmates wrote. Singing is not unusual for Rose, now a senior right-hander on the Albertus Magnus softball team. The way she sings to herself around the house fits her effervescent personality like an adjustable cap. But when she started hitting one beautifully melodic note after another in front of nearly 100 people packed into the school auditorium, it was like she'd found a voice no one knew she had. "My husband and I both looked at each other and our jaws dropped," said Diane Rose, Christine's mother. "The principal, her teacher and Girl Scout leader all came up to say they didn't know Christine could sing. We said we didn't know either." They didn't know because their daughter, despite her outgoing nature, was too embarrassed to let them hear.

87. St. Albert The Great Albert the Great, in Latin albertus magnus , was declared a Saintand Doctor of the Church on Dec. 16, 1931. This was a long time http://www.opwest.org/sap/library/st_albert.html

Albert the Great , in Latin "Albertus Magnus", was declared a Saint and Doctor of the Church on Dec. 16, 1931. This was a long time after his death, for he lived in the 13 th century. S. Albert was born c. 1200 in Lauingen on the Danube in Germany, where he spent his youth. After his elementary training he studied the "liberal arts" (i.e. language studies and mathematical sciences) in Padua, one of the main academic centers of this time. It was there that he got to know Jordan of Saxony, the second Master General of the Order of Preachers, founded by his predecessor S. Dominic. Through his preaching he won S. Albert for this new and striving order, known for its zeal for study, preaching and poverty. Although his family opposed this step he entered the novitiate and later was sent to Germany for his theological studies. After some intellectual work in several Dominican houses in Germany he went to Paris. Paris was the capital of the then flourishing reception of Aristotle. The latter was rediscovered by way of Spain and the Arabic culture at this time. Albert read and commented on all of Aristotle's works (as far as they were known). Albert's work was an encyclopedic endeavor, trying to explain the knowledge of all of the then known world. For this marvelous achievement and its lasting value he was later declared "Doctor of the Church". Besides Aristotle and the theology of his time he studied especially natural science; this was due also to his Aristotelianism , for unlike Plato Aristotle regarded the realm of natural science as worthy of study in its own dignity. However, he also corrected Aristotle through the many observations he made on his own. He was so engaged in this, that legend ascribed to him the (at this time closely related) powers of a magician and a sorcerer.

ST. ALBERT the GREAT (Died 1280 A.D.) Feast: November 15 He was known as the "teacher of everything there is to know," was a scientist long before the age of science, was considered a wizard and magician in his own lifetime, and became the teacher and mentor of that other remarkable mind of his time, St. Thomas Aquinas. St. Albert the Great was born in Lauingen on the Danube, near Ulm, Germany; his father was a military lord in the army of Emperor Frederick II. As a young man Albert studied at the University of Padua and there fell under the spell of Blessed Jordan of Saxony, the Dominican who made the rounds of the universities of Europe drawing the best young men of the universities into the Dominicans. After several teaching assignments in his order, he came in 1241 to the University of Paris, where he lectured in theology. While teaching in Paris, he was assigned by his order in 1248 to set up a house of studies for the order in Cologne. In Paris, he had gathered around him a small band of budding theologians, the chief of whom was Thomas Aquinas, who accompanied him to Cologne and became his greatest pupil. In 1260, he was appointed bishop of Regensberg; when he resigned after three years, he was called to be an adviser to the pope and was sent on several diplomatic missions. In his latter years, he resided in Cologne, took part in the Council of Lyons in 1274, and in his old age traveled to Paris to defend the teaching of his student Thomas Aquinas.

PATRON SAINTS for various OCCUPATIONS and CONDITIONS compiled by catherine yronwode from Catholic Church and Folk Sources Although the Christian religion is monotheistic and all replies to prayers are said to come from the grace of Jehovah, in practice, prayers to Jesus and the Holy Spirit (the other two members of the Christian Trinity), are acceptable to all Christians, and prayers to The Virgin Mary (the mother of Jesus) have a long history of popular usage dating back to pre-Christian European Goddess-centered paganism. Many Catholics address the Virgin Mary with direct prayers and do not ask her to intercede on their behalfs with Jehovah, but although this is a common practice, technically speaking, Mary is not a deity but a holy person, and therefore prayers addressed to her are also called "intercessions." In acknowledgement of her widespread popularity, Mary's various manifestations and apparitions have been given patronage over an assortment of occupations and conditions by the Church, as if she were a multiplicity of saints. The list of Patron Saints below is by no means complete, and it contains several individuals who have not received Papal approval but find common acceptance among folk-Catholics in various regions. Some people call these non-canonical intercessors "Folk Saints." They fall roughly into three categories:
