SUMMARY:Vigils Reading - St Anselm
DESCRIPTION:he life of \nST ANSELM \n◊◊◊ \nAnselm\, son of a Lombard nobleman\, was one of the outstanding figures \nof the church in England. After a restless youth\, in 1059 he entered the \nmonastery of Bec in Normandy\, whose prior was Lanfranc\, who was to precede \nhim in the see of Canterbury. During the next thirty years Anselm wrote several \nof the philosophical and theological works that have been so influential\, works \nthat are characterized by a use of rational argument that made him “the father of \nScholasticism”; but his intellectual figure was softened by the sensitiveness of \nhis mind and the generosity of his heart. He was elected abbot of Bec in 1078\, \nand in 1093 King William II consented to nominate him to the archbishopric of \nCanterbury. \nHenceforth. Anselm’s public life was almost wholly conditioned by \ndissensions with William II and Henry I over relations between the church and \nthe state as represented by the king. Among the principles at stake was the \nelection of bishops without interference from the crown. William II soon made \ndetermined efforts to get rid of the archbishop\, and in 1097 Anselm went to \nRome\, where he remained for three years. During that time he wrote “Cur Deus \nHomo”\, one of the best known works on the Atonement. He also attended the \nCouncil of Bari\, and was instrumental in resolving the doubts of the Greek \nbishops in southern Italy about the Holy Spirit proceeding from the Son \n(Filioque). \nHe returned to England when Henry I came to the throne\, but Henry soon \nclaimed rights in respect of bishops and abbots that a council in Rome had been \nunable to recognize; Anselm was again in exile abroad from 1003 to 1007. \nAs a pastor he encouraged the ordination of native Englishmen among his \nclergy for whom he enforced celibacy; he emulated St Wulfstan in his opposition \nto slavery\, and he restored to the calendar the names of some of the English \nsaints that his predecessor Lanfranc had removed. As a statesmen he was \ndeficient: the monastery\, not the court\, was where he was at home. Many \nincidents recorded of his life testify no less than his writings to the \nattractiveness of his personal character. Anselm was canonized by being \nincluded among the doctors of the church by Pope Clement XI in 1720.
