It might surprise our readers to learn that they could go to any current copy of Who’s Who in American Jєωry and find listed there the names of some Catholic priests. The willingness of converted Jєωs (even those with Holy Orders) to remain part of the Jєωιѕн scene has always been a worry to our Holy Mother the Church. And perhaps this explains why, since the days of the Apostles, the Church has never found a converted Jєω it could canonize.--https://fatherfeeney.wordpress.com/2009/08/22/the-point-april-1954/
Francis Mary Paul Libermann (French: François-Marie-Paul Libermann; born Jacob Libermann; 14 April 1802 – 2 February 1852) was a 19th-century French Jєωιѕн convert to Catholicism, member of the Spiritan Congregation. He is best known for founding the Congregation of the Immaculate Heart of Mary which later merged with the Congregation of the Holy Spirit (Spiritans). He is often referred to as "The Second Founder of the Spiritans". He was declared venerable in the Roman Catholic Church on 1 June 1876, by Pope Pius IX.
Thanks. So I guess it's true that no pre-Vatican II Jєωιѕн convert has been canonized. This surprises me.
How about St. Paul?
Abdulmasih of Sinjar in the Syriac Church, martyred 390. Patron saint of sterile women.https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=A09WDwAAQBAJ&pg=PA1390&dq=Abdulmasih+of+Sinjar&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjUhrLv-unaAhVECewKHXgUDy4Q6AEIPjAE#v=onepage&q=Abdulmasih%20of%20Sinjar&f=falsehttp://syriaca.org/bibl/2298https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abd-al-Masih_(martyr)
Under what Pontificate these canonizations occured?Are you sure that these martyrs are saints venerated in the Roman Catholic Church? instead of an Oriental Church, such as the Syriac Orthodox Church?
Well, if you’re talking about formal canonisation by a pope, tell that to St. Patrick.I’m sure this person is NOT venerated in the ROMAN Catholic church, but then how many non-Latin, pre-schism saints after the Patristic age are? In the Byzantine Catholic Church all seven of the “archangels” are venerated by name; the Roman church recognises only three and Pope St. Zachary struck even St. Uriel of the permitted list. So what? St. Constantine the Great, pray for us. Truth can’t be relative. If this boy was martyred in 390 and is recognised in the Syriac “Orthodox” church liturgy, what of it? What am I denying? That he existed? That being killed by his father for converting to the Catholic faith didn’t earn him sainthood?
