It takes a long time for any saint to be canonized. They have to go through a very lengthy process of beatification and cononization. Not to mention the universal church probably did not view her the way French Catholics did for quite some time.

A Catholic can divorce and remain a Catholic as long as the person does not remarry. The Catholic Church does not recognize divorce so would consider the person as separated from the spouse. To remarry the person would have to obtain a Church annulment or the previous spouse would have to die.

The Anglican Church, as we have seen with Henry VIII's life, is much more liberal when it comes to divorce.
