Saints drop from Catholic calendar in Vatican decree
The Vatican under Pope Paul VI removed about 60 older saints from the Roman Catholic calendar, citing questions about whether they truly existed. The change, affecting names like Paraxedes Prisca Symphorosa Nympha Domitilla and Bacchus, does not force name changes or alter church dedications, but stirs personal impact for believers tied to long revered saints.
