Constantine is recognized as a saint in the Orthodox tradition but not in the Catholic Church. For reasons why you might click on this link for an article by Taylor Marshall.While Constantine the Great may very well be in heaven, he was a terrible role model and not really worthy of emulation. He was responsible for several murders and many other less-than-saintly activities. He knew that all his sins would be washed away at baptism so waited to be baptized until he was on his death bed - just in case he needed to carry out some other nefarious act while he was still living. That is definitely not the sort of life that was taught by Christ.
