Hello everyone. This question is about Catholic church history.

I have recently learned of a saint who is recognized in the Eastern / Orthodox churches… called “St. John the Soldier” (I believe he may also known as “St. John the Warrior”).

As most of us know, some saints are recognized by both Catholic & Eastern Orthodox churches… and others saints are not (because after the churches separated from each other… they canonized saints separately).

Does anyone know (or have the historical / church resources to check)… if “St. John the Soldier” is recognized as a canonized saint in the Roman Catholic Church?

Thanks…

Maybe so, the one fro Constantinople? 🤔

Funny they both have the same title though.
 
Yes I was originally talking about St. John the Soldier (Warrior), who lived much earlier than St. John Capistrano.

(Although St. John Capistrano was also a saint named John, and was also a soldier at a point in his life)

Does anyone know of any official Catholic sources… which speak to the question of whether he is recognized by Rome? He did live in the first 1,000 years of the Christian church after all… which often is an indication that both Eastern Orthodox and Catholic recognize a saint. I can’t find any official or reputable source on this, though…

He’s not listed on the most comprehensive listing online. Are you writing a book?
