yaA5k1o9

When Anselm had reached the age of 15, he attempted to enter a monastery. The abbot refused him out of fear of Gundulf. According to legend, Anselm prayed for sickness to overtake him, thinking that the abbot would then accept him. Anselm did become sick, but the abbot still refused. Overcome with disappointment, Anselm spent years in the common pleasures of the noble youth of the time. The death of his pious mother increased his unhappiness as his father showed even further hatred towards his son. In desperation, Anselm crossed the Alps in 1056, and entered France. He spent three years in France and Burgundy, and then traveled to the Bec Abbey. Anselm joined the abbey and joined the Benedictine order in 1060.
Birth and Family Circumstances of Anselm
In 1063,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the Abbot Lanfranc was named abbot of St. Stephen's Abbey at Caen. With the Abbot's change in location,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Anselm was named prior of Bec Abbey. He served as prior for 15 years. It was during this time that many of his earlier writings were written. His major treatises were the Monologium and the Proslogium. The latter became more well-known and is Saint Anselm's attempt to prove the existence of God. In 1078,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the abbot of Bec died, and Anselm was given the title despite his protests. After his appointment, Anselm traveled to England to examine property owned by Bec there and to meet with his old teacher, Abbot Lanfranc, who was now the archbishop of Canterbury.
His old mentor Abbot Lanfranc died in 1089. King William Rugus, however, did not appoint a new archbishop of Canterbury and simply collected all of the tithes, rents, and revenues for the next four years. In 1093, the king became ill and made repentance on his sick-bed. Upon regaining his health, however, he went back to his previous behavior. Violating the separation of the Church,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the king demanded 500 pounds from Anselm in return for naming his as archbishop of Canterbury. Anselm, in anger, gave the 500 pounds to the poor.
To complicate the official naming of Anselm as archbishop was the argument in Rome between Pope Urban II and the "antipope" Clement. King William took this as a chance to forbid any English clergy to visit Rome until he, William, had decided which side he stood on. Anselm was officially invested as Archbishop of Canterbury on June 10, 1095 (though he was officially consecrated on December 4, 1093). Further arguments between royal authority and Church authority led to Anselm exiling himself to Rome. While in Rome he wrote his most well-known treatise Cur Deus Homo, or Why God Became Man. In this work, he attempted to explain why God, in the form of Christ, came to Earth. Anselm also spoke at the Council of Bari, helping to explain the papal position on the Holy Spirit.

Saint Anselm's Writings and Disputes with English Kings
Saint Anselm served as Archbishop of Canterbury and argued with two English kings over the rights of the Church versus the rights of the throne. While leading an Abbey, and then later in exile, he continued the tasks for which he is most well-known. He was one of the only great writers between the time of Saint Augustine and Saint Thomas Aquinas. He relied on reason- not just revelation- in his attempts to prove God's existence. He is remember most for his writings and faith.
Religious Calling and Early Life of Anselm
Anselm was born to Gundulf and Ermenburga in 1033. His family was a noble family who had settled in Aosta, Italy, the site of Anselm's birth. His mother is reputed to have been extremely pious and to have had a great affect on Anselm's early faith. His father Gundulf, however, was noted as being cruel and and harsh towards his son. Anselm's great piety was rewarded when he had a vision at a very young age. He envisioned going up into the mountains to find Heaven. Once he reached the court of the Lord, he was fed "on the bread of the Lord."
