"Blessed" is one stage below "saint" and is St. Augistine's station in the Orthodox Church. He is a canonized saint of the Catholic Church. If I called him "blessed", my apologies, I should not have

Saint Augustine is a Saint in the Orthodox Church. Saints in the Eastern Orthodox Church can be referred to as "blessed."

Yes, Alex I don't think I was remembering your using this term. I think I was remembering, what now seem to be, Orthodox quotes I have been showed. I know I've seen the expression "Blessed Augustine". Thanks for clearing this up, Kosta.
