On St. Albert the Great, the Church, and Science

"St. Albert the Great was considered the 'wonder and the miracle of his age' by his contemporaries. He was an assiduous Dominican whose accomplishments and gifts to the Church are difficult to exaggerate.

"Born around 1206 and joining the Order of Preachers in 1223, Albert quickly became a master of almost every academic subject. Notwithstanding the standards of his own time, he became a pioneer of the natural sciences - both empirical and philosophical. His teachings on nature and theology were revolutionary, and he captured the attention of a young and taciturn Dominican - St. Thomas Aquinas."

A recent article in the National Catholic Register profiled St. Albert the Great (whose feast is today, 15 November) and explained how the Church and science both explore the truth.
