RE: He is a venerated Saint
And what is the reason for this veneration?
If you doubt my report, google it. Many sources and historical records, count him as a believer, who led many to Christ, based on his first hand knowledge, and miracles he performed in Christ’s name. His wife is a saint too. You do not achieve sainthood, and a day of celebration, without good cause.
