[M-R] saint of the day 26. May:
Bede
In my exasperated haste, I failed to mention that Bede is one of
the last designated Doctors of the Church, and he is the only
Englishman to appear in Dante's Paradiso.

We call him Venerable Bede because that has been his honorific title
even during his era He is, however, a canonized saint in both
the Anglican and Roman catholic calendars.

Memorial of St Bede.

If he was a saint, then why did we
call him the Venerable Bede? Or is this a
different person?
