One interesting fact
One Interesting Fact:
One interesting fact about St. Albert the great is that Saint Mary appeared to him and gifted him intellect which he then used to write 38 volumes on many topics such as love, friendship, philosophy, geography, etc. (Catholic Online, 2024)
Miracles or scientific achievements
St. Albert the Great did not perform any miracles however he did see St. Mary. Despite not preforming miracles, St. Albert the Great did contribute many things to science. He discovered the element arsenic as well as the philosopher’s stone which he passed down to his pupil Thomas Aquinas, however it is not confirmed. St Albert experimented with photosensitive chemicals and is said to have witnessed gold transmutation however this theory is highly unlikely. St. Albert believed all-natural things were made of matter which he referred to as quod est meaning “it is what it is”. He also believed God is the single ruling entity and has divine authority. (Catholic Online, 2024).
