April 21, 2020 01:00 / Catholic Fun Facts

Born in Piedmont of noble parentage about the year 1033, St. Anselm studied under Lanfranc at the monastery of Bec.  He was made Prior in 1063 and Abbot in 1078.  He was well known in England because of his various voyages there.  He became Archbishop of Canterberry.  He resisted the unjust measures of King William Rufus which caused the King’s anger.  He spent some time in Rome where he composed a work on the Incarnation.  He assisted at the Council of Bari.  His prayers prevented the Pope from excommunicating the King of England.  He did not return to his See until after the death of King William Rufus.  He took another trip to Rome due to differences with the new King.  He returned to England in 1106 and died in 1109.  He wrote works that deeply influenced Catholic philosophy and theology.  He is best known for his ontological argument for the existence of God.
