Saint Anselm
Saint Anselm (1033–1109) was a cleric and theologian, appointed Archbishop of Canterbury by William II in 1093. As a theologian, he is famous as a founder of scholasticism, and inventor of the "ontological argument" for the existence of God.
Like other clerics and monks of his time, Anselm wrote in passionate terms to male friends, while avoiding any physical expression of that love.[1]
