Why does Saint Valentine not belong to the saints?
I am not sure if I really understand your question, especially in its original unedited form. However, I will try to answer what I think you are asking.St. Valentine is still a saint and listed in the Roman Martyrology of the Catholic Church. However, in 1969 he was removed from the Roman Calendar of Saints along with a number of other saints because so little information was known about them. Some other saints removed at the time were St. Christopher, St. Dorothy, St. Ursula and St. Barbara. In most cases the cults of the saints remain intact and they may be venerated locally. Such is the case of St. Valentine of Rome. In other cases the very existence of the saint was in question and their cults were abolished.In most cases so many legends and myths had grown around some of these saints that it was no longer possible to distinguish what was fact and what was fiction.
