"Some sacraments which are of greater difficulty for belief Christ himself made known; but others He reserved to be made known by the Apostles.
Humboldt, for instance, says of Albertus Magnus, after reading some of his works with care: Albertus Magnus is equally active and influential in promoting the study of natural science and of the Aristotelian philosophy.
