Pope proclaims 19 new saints

I don't see *my* name in the list.

And I am certainly made up of precurser Saint chemicals.

This seems like the right thread to ask a question I've had for quite awhile. Many years ago, it was announced that St. Christopher was no longer a saint...not sure of why, but he and several other saints were dethroned (bumped down?) and I remember many people were concerned since he had been such a visible presence (all the car medallians and St. Christopher medals.) My husband began referring to the medal I gave him when he went into the service in the Vietnam era as his Mr. Christopher medal. On another FR thread a few months ago someone told me that he was still a saint, but not the highest degree of saints. Now I'm a product of the Baltimore Catchism days, and don't remember anything about degrees of saints. Does anyone out there have the scoop about Christopher's status?

Many thanks.....inquiring minds want to know.
