Today’s featured entry from the Vatican Observatory Faith and Science pages:
“St. Albert the Great: Champion of Faith and Reason” (CLICK HERE for it)
Kevin Vost, author of this book, writes “St. Albert has been described as a scientist by temperament, a philosopher by choice, and a theologian by mood. When a natural explanation appeared to explain an observable phenomenon or process, such as the operation of our senses, Albert did not feel the need to interject a supernatural cause.

The Faith and Science pages (F&S) are a unique resource on the web. The material in F&S is stuff that you will find nowhere else (or at least not without a lot of digging). Featured areas on F&S include “History of Church and Science”; “Church and Science Today”; “Science and Scripture”; “Science, Religion & Society”; “Life in the Universe”; “Cosmology”; and more. The level of the F&S material ranges from being accessible to all audiences, with even some material oriented toward young readers, up to material for university specialists.
The F&S pages, like this blog, are made possible by the Vatican Observatory Foundation (the Vatican Observatory’s US operation that operates the Vatican Advanced Technology Telescope, or VATT, in Arizona). CLICK HERE to support the F&S pages, this blog, and the operation of the VATT.
