Saint Anselm of Canterbury, also called Anselm of Aosta after his birthplace and Anselm of Bec after his monastery, was a Benedictine monk, abbot, philosopher and theologian of the Catholic Church -Wikipedia Excerpt: In the eyes of the best of his contemporaries Anselm seemed to shine as a luminary of sanctity and learning amid the darkness of the error and iniquity of the age in which he lived. He was in truth a |prince of the faith, an ornament of the Church . . . a glory of the episcopate, a man outranking all the great men| of his time (|Epicedion in obitum Anselmi|), |both learned and good and brilliant in speech, a man of splendid intellect| (|In Epitaphio|) whose reputation was such that it has been well written of him that there was no man in the world then |who would say: Anselm is less than I, or like me| (|Epicedion in obitum Anselmi|), and hence esteemed by kings, princes, and supreme pontiffs, as well as by his brethren in religion and by the faithful, nay, |beloved even by his enemies| (Ib.). While he was still Abbot the great and most powerful Pontiff Gregory VII wrote him letters breathing esteem and affection and |recommending the Catholic Church and himself to his prayers| (Breviar. Rom.. die 21 Aprilis): to him also wrote Urban II recognizing |his distinction in religion and learning| (In libro 2 Epist. S. Anselmi, ep. 32); in many and most affectionate letters Paschal 11 extolled his |reverent devotion, strong faith, his pious and persevering zeal, his authority in religion and knowledge| (In lib. 3 Epist. S. Anselmi, ep. 74 et 42), which easily induced the Pontiff to accede to his requests and made him not hesitate to call him the most learned and devout of the bishops of England. 7. And yet Anselm in his own eyes was but a despicable and unknown good for nothing, a man of no parts, sinful in his life. Nor did this great modesty and most sincere humility detract in the least from his high thinking, whatever may be said to the contrary by men of depraved life and judgment, of whom the Scripture says that |the animal man understandeth not the things of the spirit of God| (I Cor. ii. 14). And more wonderful still, greatness of soul and unconquerable constancy, tried in so many ways by troubles, attacks, exiles, were in him blended with such gentle and pleasing manners that he was able to calm the angry passions of his enemies and win the hearts of those who were enraged against him, so that the very men |to whom his cause was hostile| praised him because he was good...
