St. Christopher was not 'decanonized' but was removed from the Calendar of Saints in 1969. However, his cult has not been suppressed. The Church felt that Christopher was more a part of the Eastern church tradition and less of the Western Church.

∙ 8y agoSt. Christopher is one of several legendary saints who may have never existed. He was removed from the Calendar of Saints several decades ago because little information was known about him. We do not know his birth date, date of death or if he was married. His cult is still allowed. In other words, you can still pray to him.He was never canonized to begin with so could not be 'decanonized.' He had been declared a saint by popular acclamation. Canonization is an infallible process and can not be undone.
