It's not unusual in these days of ecumania. But prior to VC II, the Catholic Church didn't give a hoot to what non-Catholics said about whom it could or could not canonize.

Maybe they SHOULD be maniacs about ecumenism.
This is what the first steps of reuniting would look like.

The Catholic Church also took decades — if not centuries — to canonize saints in the past. They probably had a standing policy of waiting until long after a person passed away — simply to view them objectively without having people who knew them personally involved in the process.
