Even greater than St. Albert’s influence on the study of natural sciences is his lasting influence on the study of philosophy and theology.One of his students was St. Thomas Aquinas.

One of the men in our Catholic homeschool association started the Albertus Magnus Debate Club. He teaches a class every Tuesday (on the internet) and takes the kids to tournaments.

Who doesn’t know about Albert the Great? He’s playing first base for the Cardinals and re-writing the record books. The first player in history to play his first ten seasons hitting over .300, over 30 hr, and over 100rbi.

Indeed. The 2 marks on my ceiling are my eyebrows!
That is sort of like saying “he taught Newton about physics...”
What a fascinating story and I will happily spend some time researching more on St. Albert. The fundamental constructs and thinking he brought to the Church clearly fertilized the ground for St. Thomas Aquinas’ brilliance.
Some change things for a generation. Very few for millenia.
Thanks, Salvation, for posting this up.
