This may come as a surprise to many, but Saint Photius is also a canonzied saint of the Catholic Church. Eastern Catholics of the Byzantine rite celebrate his feast liturgically on the same day in the same exact manner as the Eastern Orthodox Churches. He is also commemorated, though not liturgically, by the Latin Church.
I believe we need more than a parish website to confirm this, especially as the Catholic Encyclopeida calls him "one of the worst enemies the Church of Christ ever had, and the cause of the greatest calamity that ever befell her." Even if there are some Eastern Catholic rites that celebrate his feast, he certainly isn't a canonized saint of the universal Church. -- Io An Ma 20:45, 7 May 2006 (UTC)
The source DominvsVobiscvm cited says that Photios was canonized by the Orthodox Church. It does not say he is recognized as a saint by any Catholic Church, eastern or western. His citation thus does not qualify as a source for his statement. In fact, the version of the Byzantine menologion (calendar of saints) used by the Greek Byzantine Catholic Church omits all mention of Photios. Lima 09:29, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
Aldux was right. And "Photios" is not what English literature uses. But hey, who gives a shit?

I changed his date of commemoration from February 6/19 to simply February 6. The "19" of course tries to account for the Julian Calendar, which is 13 days behind the Gregorian, but this is confusing and unnecessary. I checked around and it seems the feast days given for other Eastern Orthodox saints on Wikipedia only give one date. Horatio325 ( talk) 11:41, 23 May 2014 (UTC)
Can the Russian Orthodox source be trusted claiming that Photios was venerated by the Roman Church as late as the 12th century?
1. The claim is from the Russian Orthodox Church.
2. The claim is so curious, considering that Photios was a major enemy of the Catholic Church.
3. If he was venerated by the Roman Church in the 12th century, why isn't he venerated now? How and why did his veneration by the Roman Church die out? -- King Pius ( talk) 07:28, 17 February 2022 (UTC)
