They sort of did. Charlemagne was beatified by a bishop of his own court, which is a little suspect, but the beatification was later confirmed by Pope Benedict XIV. He was later canonized by Paschal III, but since Paschal was an Antipope (a claimant to the papal throne not officially recognized as Pope by the Roman Catholic Church), when the church later nullified all of Paschal's ordinances Charlemagne's sainthood went with them. (It's also regarded as likely that Paschal canonized Charlemagne more to curry the favor of Frederick Barbarossa than because he legitimately considered him to be a saint.)
The church still regards Charlemagne as a sort of "under-saint," conferring upon him the honorific of "Blessed", so it's not like they think he was a demon in human form or something, they just don't consider him to have met the criteria required for being canonized.

It is all right to the Catholic Church regarding legalization of divorce?
One can get a divorce through legal channels but it is not recognized by the Church as the Church does not recognize divorce.

How was Charlemagne convert into Christianity?

Does Catholic Church recognize validity of Episcopalian ordination?
Roman Catholic AnswerThe Catholic Church recognizes any legal marriage including the marriage between two baptized non Catholics before their own minister. It does recognize a marriage between two baptized non Catholics as a sacrament, as the individuals themselves perform the sacrament of marriage if they are both validly baptized, and non-Catholics are not bound by Canon Law (Church Law); so it would recognize Episcopalian marriages. The Church always assumes a valid legal marriage, even if it is not between baptized persons, but in that case it would not be a sacrament, although it would still be a legal marriage. A marriage is contracted between the spouses in Catholic sacramental theology. The minister is only a witness.
How old is Charlemagne?
