I mean he was the one who worked under the reign of Queen Mary to bring England back into full communion with the Catholic Church…
 
Not all saints in Heaven are canonized by the Church. 🙂 He might have lived a holy life and did great things for God and is now interceding for the us in Heaven, but no one ever opened his cause for canonization.

God bless! 🙂

It’s unfortunate. Also, there aren’t many modern biographies on him. It’s a shame.
 
Unless I’m mistaken, he died under investigation of heresy. (I only just learned of him the other day.) That the investigation was never finished is probably reason enough for the Church to never canonize him.
