ST. ANSELM LIFE Anselm was born in northern Italy. Entered the Benedictine monastery at Bec in Normandy (Northern France), to study under Stephen Lanfranc. Composed the Monologium (Soliloquy) in which he spoke of God as the highest being and investigated God's attributes. Elected abbot of Bec, succeeding Stephen Lanfranc, who himself had been raised to the office of Archbishop of Canterbury. Completed the Proslogium (Discourse), which presents an argument for the existence of God, the original statement of what in the 18th century became known as the "ontological" argument. Anselm was called to England to become the Archbishop of Canterbury, again succeeding his mentor, Stephen Lanfranc. As archbishop, Anselm entered into a time of great strife with King William II over the church's independence of the king's control. In and out of England, in exile in Italy, Anselm led a life of conflict with the secular powers. Despite these power struggles, he continued his theological speculations and writings. Anselm goes into exile in Italy, until William II dies in 1100. During this time Anselm helps settle the doubts of the Greek bishops of southern Italy about the doctrine of the

INTRODUCTION THE present volume of St. Anselm's most important philosophical and theological writings contains: (1) The Proslogium (2) the Monologium , (3) the Cur Deus Homo , and (4) by way of historical complement, an Appendix to the Monologium entitled In Behalf of the Fool by Gaunilo, a monk of Marmoutiers. The Proslogium (which, though subsequent in point of time to the Monologium , is here placed first, as containing the famous ontological argument), the Monologium and the Appendix thereto were translated by Mr. Sidney Norton Deane, of New Haven, Conn.; the

http://www.canterbury-cathedral.org/histbuild.html
The first Archbishop of Canterbury was St Augustine who arrived on the coast of Kent as a missionary to England in 597 AD. He came from Rome, sent by Pope Gregory the Great. The story goes that Gregory had seen "Angle" slaves for sale in the city market and struck by their beauty, had remarked "not Angles but Angels". Such a people he was convinced should be converted to Christianity, and ordered Augustine and a group of monks to set out for England.
On his arrival Augustine was given a church at Canterbury by the local King Ethelbert whose Queen, Bertha, was already a Christian. This building had been a place of worship during the Roman occupation of Britain. Soon consecrated Bishop, Augustine established his seat (or "cathedra") in this place as the first Archbishop of Canterbury. The present archbishop, Most Revd Dr Rowan Williams, is 104th in the line of succession.
Until the 10th century the Cathedral community was a family of clergy, living a regulated life as the household of the Archbishop. Not until 998 do we find evidence that they were living by the Rule of St. Benedict as a formal monastic community. The Benedictine community of monks continued until the monastery was dissolved in 1540.

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.

The Medieval Churchmen
"That . . . you might learn not to exceed
what is written" (1 Corinthians 4:6).
he Dark Ages ushered in some dubious trends in theology. Medieval theologians seemed uncertain of how to sort out Scripture from tradition. Whereas the early Ecumenical Church Councils had invariably settled matters on the basis of Scripture, theology in the middle ages began to treat church tradition and ecclesiastical authority as tantamount to the Word of God. (This view was later formally ratified as official Catholic doctrine by the Council of Trent.)
Despite the ruling against semi-Pelagianism by the Council of Orange in 529 A.D., subtle semi-Pelagian tendencies began to infiltrate the church, so that by the time of Trent in the late sixteenth century, the Catholic Church took a position that was almost pure semi-Pelagianism.
During this period, monasticism was on the rise, and Scholasticism became the predominant approach to theology. Scholastic theology relied heavily on speculation and philosophy. Taken to an extreme, it ultimately turned the discipline of theology into pure sophistry. It broadened the gap between clergy and laity, and finally gave rise to the brand of Catholicism against which the Reformers rebelled.
Thomas Aquinas (1225-74), the Master theologian of the Catholic Church, is the dominant figure of this era. In Thomas most of the seeds of Tridentine Catholicism are found. He backed away from Augustine's strong emphasis on the grace of God in salvation. Thomas seemed to see salvation as more of a cooperative effort between God and the sinner.

St Anselm, 1033-1109. Doctor of Scholasticism, Feast April 21st.
Anselm was a daring soul. He was unafraid to try new adventures. Prayer gave him new confidences to venture out into the unknown. He wasn't always successful. He searched his mind and heart earnestly to discover God and never gave up on his vocation despite a long delay. One major contribution that Anselm excelled in was his opposition to the slave trade. Secondly, his emphases on freedom of choice and new ideas about prayer were a first for the Church.

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:

John Wycliffe (1330-1384)
Born around 1330, John Wycliffe was a biblical reformer, bringing to bear the teachings of Scripture on the practices of the Roman church. He engaged in Bible translation, and it was largely through his influence that the first English version was produced. Without doubt, its widespread use had an influence on the development of the English language. To Wycliffe, Scripture, which he interpreted literally, was the sole authority for the believer. Decrees of the pope were not infallible except as based on Scripture. Clergy were not to rule but to serve and help people. Eventually he reached the conclusion that Christ and not the pope was the head of the church. In fact, the pope, if he were too eager for worldly power, might even be regarded as the Antichrist. Ultimately Wycliffe came to repudiate the entire papal system. He also attacked transubstantiation, a position that influenced Martin Luther over a century later. Moreover, he condemned the dogma of purgatory and the use of relics, pilgrimages and indulgences. In 1377, Pope Gregory XI condemned Wycliffe for his efforts, but he was protected by some English nobles. While living, the power John Wycliffe exercised was at least threefold: his intense patriotism, his deep piety, and the belief of many that he had no scholarly equal in England. John Wycliffe died in 1384

    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.

Evagrius ( Eccl. Hist. , 1.4, c. 38, 39) reports that he observed perpetual silence except when charity or necessity compelled him to speak. Anastasius was particularly adept at comforting the afflicted. One would think that a man who did not speak would not get into trouble. Nevertheless, he was a resolute opponent of the imperial politico-theological rule. He vigorously opposed Emperor Justinian's heretical insistence that Jesus, during his mortal life, suffered no pain, i.e., that Christ simply appeared to be a man. For his opposition, Anastasius was threatened with deposition by Justinian, and actually banished from his see for 23 years by Justin II. Anastasius was finally restored to Antioch by Saint Gregory the Great and Emperor Maurice, but died five years later leaving us a legacy of several letters and pious sermons (Benedictines, Husenbeth).
