Talk:Photios I of Constantinople

message: This may come as a surprise to many, but Saint Photius is also a canonzied saint of the Catholic Church. Eastern Catholics of the Byzantine rite celebrate his feast liturgically on the same day in the same exact manner as the Eastern Orthodox Churches. He is also commemorated, though not liturgically, by the Latin Church.
I believe we need more than a parish website to confirm this, especially as the Catholic Encyclopeida calls him  "one of the worst enemies the Church of Christ ever had, and the cause of the greatest calamity that ever befell her." Even if there are some Eastern Catholic rites that celebrate his feast, he certainly isn't a canonized saint of the universal Church. --Io An Ma 20:45, 7 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, probably we should simply say that he is a saint among the Eastern Catholics and the Orthodoxs.--Aldux 20:53, 7 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: All Catholic sui iuris Churches being of equal right and dignity, a saint of one Church is a saint of the Church universal, even if they are venerated in one Church to a greater degree than in another. The Catholic Encyclopedia is not an official Church document, and the author is simply giving his own personal opinion.DominvsVobiscvm 22:10, 7 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: But the CE does have an imprimatur, which makes it something than a simple opinion.--Aldux 09:56, 8 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: The imprimatur is just a moral assurance on the part of a bishop or religious superior that a work is free from doctrinal error. It is not at all an ecclesiastical endorsement of a particular opinion, about which good Catholics can be in disagreement.DominvsVobiscvm 05:06, 9 May 2006 (UTC)

text: He appears in the calendars of the Recensio Vulgata Sluzhebnik (Leitourgikon) published by Rome for the Russian Catholics in 1956, ditto the Recensio Vulgata Apstol published in 1955 and the Gospels published in 1958, so he is a saint of the Russian Catholic Church, which is equal in dignity to the Roman, since all Catholic Churches sui juris are equal. Ergo. Catholic saint.  InfernoXV 04:38, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

message: * Patriarch Photius I of Constantinople → Photius … Rationale: The patriarch Photius is by far the most common Photius, as indicated by the redirect Photius which points to the article in question, and by the google hits.--Aldux 11:08, 6 May 2006 (UTC)

Not at all. Ingerina was the mistress of Emperor Michael III, Barda's nephew, and later wife of coemperor Basil I.---Pagaeos (talk) 17:16, 7 January 2013 (UTC)

message: I changed his date of commemoration from February 6/19 to simply February 6. The "19" of course tries to account for the Julian Calendar, which is 13 days behind the Gregorian, but this is confusing and unnecessary. I checked around and it seems the feast days given for other Eastern Orthodox saints on Wikipedia only give one date. Horatio325 (talk) 11:41, 23 May 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: Actually, there is no consistency and many are given using both dates, some stating "by those churches using the Julian Calendar".  Either, way, I personally wouldn't bother to edit it (or undo your edit). Vincent J. Lipsio (talk) 18:43, 23 May 2014 (UTC)
