ST. ALBERTUS MAGNUS (ALBERT THE GREAT)
(Germany, 1193-1280)
Dominican, Philosopher, Bishop, Doctor of the Church
Considered the greatest German scholar, theologian and philosopher of the Middle Ages, Albert the Great advocated the peaceful coexistence of science
and religion. In his writings, Albert commented on all of Aristotle's works and tried to explain as much as was known of the world at the time. He became
a mentor to Thomas Aquinas, whom he outlived. After serving as Provincial in Germany for the Dominican order, he was made Bishop of Regensburg
but gave it up after three years, preferring to return to teaching in Cologne where he died at age 87. He was canonized by Pius XI in 1931 and named
a Doctor of the Church ['Doctor of Science'].
OR today.
The Pope addresses the bishops of southern Brazil on ad limina visit:
'An authentic social life begins with well-formed consciences'

translated and posted on this thread yesterday - see preceding page
]; Obama's foreign policy in Asia looks to pragmatic
cooperation with China; the European Union warns that economic recovery is doubtful without new jobs. The inside pages
contain two articles on recently found documentary films showing the work Pius XII did during World War II to help persecuted
Jews; and an essay by art historian Timothy Verdon on the Pope's coming encounter with contemporary artists.
THE POPE'S DAY
Sunday Angelus
- The Holy Father spoke about Jesus's words from today's Gospel on his words
'which will not pass away'. After the prayers, he acknowledged the work last week of the European
Bishops' Commission for the Media on how the Church can best avail of the new information technologies.
NB:
I find the resemblance to Benedict XVI of the Albertus Magnus iconography in the first portrait above and the medal quite striking
.
