Talk:Stephen of Perm

Canonization as a Catholic Saint
As strange as it may seem, Stephen of Perm is also considered a saint by the Catholic Church!

Not only that, he's venerated by Catholics of the Latin and the Byzantine Churches! For documentation, I direct the readers here: http://www.saintpatrickdc.org/ss/0426.htm#step

More scholarly references include the following: D. Attwater's The Golden Book of Eastern Saints, J. Bentley's A Calendar of Saints: The Lives of the Principal Saints of the Christian Year, and especially Butler's Lives of the Saints.

I don't know how to explain this phenomena, save to say that it does occur periodically in the Church calendar that saints formally outside a denominational communion somehow come to be recognized as saints. For example, some Arian and Monophysite martyrs are venerated by the Catholic and Eastern Orthodox Churches.

Oh, well; however he got there, he made the cut, and today is his feast day amongst Catholics and Orthodox!DominvsVobiscvm 07:05, 26 April 2006 (UTC)


 * the problem is that this link doesn't work. I found him listed in one site of Butler's but not in any other site of Butler's.  Is there any reference that discusses this?
