Bede is often known as the Venerable Bede, which suggests that he failed to be canonized by the Roman Catholic Church and remains a "venerable". In fact, the title seems to have been generally given to him soon after his death. In the archdiocese of York there was a feast of Saint Bede but it was little observed in southern England and never penetrated to continental Europe. |
