Saint Albert the Great
Saint Albert the Great, also known as Albertus Magnus, was a German Dominican friar and bishop born around 1200. He is renowned for his contributions to philosophy, theology, and the natural sciences. A student of Saint Thomas Aquinas, he played a crucial role in integrating Aristotelian philosophy with Christian doctrine, earning him the title "Doctor Universalis."
Albert was canonized as a saint in 1931 and declared a Doctor of the Church due to his extensive writings and teachings. He is the patron saint of scientists and is celebrated for his belief in the harmony between faith and reason, influencing later thinkers in the Renaissance and beyond.
