 Albert the Great (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy)
Albert appealed to his three-fold distinction, noting that a universal's mode of being is differentiated according to which function is being considered.
Albert's interest in the human condition is dominated by his concern with the relationship of the soul to the body on the one hand and the important role that the intellect plays in human psychology.
With regard to the relationship between the soul and the body Albert appears to be torn between the Platonic theory which sees the soul as a form capable of existing independently of the body and the Aristotelian hylomorphic theory which reduces the soul to a functional relationship of the body.

 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Mainz
In 451 Mainz was pillaged by the Huns.
Strictly speaking, however, Mainz was not then raised to metropolitan rank; Boniface was himself an archbishop as formerly, before he occupied any see in Germany, but the archiepiscopal dignity did not descend immediately to his successor, St. Lul or Lullus.
Electors Sebastian von Hausenstamm (1545-55) and Daniel Brendel of Homburg (1555-82), strove indefatigably to heal the scars of the Reformation; the latter summoned the Jesuits to Mainz.

 Medieval Theories of Demonstration (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy)
From this Albert concludes that the science of the human body might be subalternated to mathematics, after all, and when Aristotle says medicine is not subalternate to geometry, he only means that the whole of medicine is not subalternate to geometry in the way that the whole of optics is, say.
To Albert's mind, this would mean that the nature of a thing, considered in itself and not insofar as it is a particular in particular circumstances, would efficiently cause its attribute to inhere in it, and that smacks of Platonism, of the view that separated universals somehow play a causal role in the world.
Albert allows that such propensities are necessary in their subjects, and he agrees that they are not part of the subject's essence, so that they follow deductively from its nature, but he allows no sort of efficient causation any role in this process.

 English 233: Readings in and on Luther
Note that, while Luther vigorously protests the indulgence being hawked on Albert's behalf by the Dominican priest Johann Tetzel, he does not at this time repudiate the authority of the Pope as Christ's vicar on earth through the Apostolic Succession from St. Peter.
As it became clear that Pope Leo X was determined not to admit that the indulgence he had permitted Albert to issue was invalid, the dispute between Luther and Rome broadened into irreconcilablility.
Here, for example, is his summary of his correspondence with Albert of Mainz and Pope Leo, and of the face-off at the Diet of Worms.
