That's a tough question. The Roman Catholic Church declares certain people saints. Recently, the list was revamped. St. Chritopher was taken off the list. Maybe he existed or maybe he did not. The Romanian Orthodox and all the other Orthodox Churches also declare their own saints. Some saints are saints in both churches, others are not. Who can really say a person is a saint? A good, kind, just person could be a saint, but never formally declared that. Hence, the Feast of All Saints. At this time in history, we need more saints.

∙ 8y agoThere are thought to be over 10,000 named saints recognized by the Universal Church. There are numerous others who are recognized only in particular dioceses but not by the Church as a whole. There are millions of others whose identities are known only to God. There are some saints who are in sort of a limbo who have been removed from the Calendar of Saints because there is insufficient factual information to support their existence or their lives of heroic virtue. This list includes Saints Valentine, Saint Christopher, Saint Ursula, Saint Philomena and a number of others. They continue to be 'maybe' saints.
