Well, in regards to St. Barbara, she is still currently listed in the Roman Martyrology, the official Martyrology of the Roman Rite of the Roman Catholic Church.It doesn’t even have an entry on the Second Vatican Council fer crying out loud - and still cites Vatican I as the most recent Ecumenical Council. Neither is there the slightest mention of the Novus Ordo in its article on the Liturgy of the Mass.
Somehow I don’t know that I’d exactly call it up-to-date!
The Second Vatican Council decreed: “The accounts of martyrdom or the lives of the saints are to accord with the facts of history. The updated Martyrology contains 7,000 saints and blesseds currently venerated by the Church, and whose cult is officially recognized and proposed to the faithful as models worthy of imitation.”
In addition, she is also venerated by Eastern Catholics.
