Is Constantine the Great considered a saint? I’ve seen him refered to as ‘Saint Constantine’ but I can’t find any other information on him being a saint.

How can someone be an Eastern Catholic saint and not a Roman Catholic saint? If we’re both in communion with the Pope I would have we would share the same beliefs on sainthood, theology etc. with the only difference being in liturgy.

Being considered a saint in eastern rites does not conflict with the Roman rite. In other words the Roman rite does not say he isn’t a saint. The canonization doesn’t exclude anyone, not all saints are canonized, but everyone who is canonized is a saint.How can someone be an Eastern Catholic saint and not a Roman Catholic saint?
