As far as I can tell, Gregory is not venerated by the Roman Catholic Church, and he vehemently opposed union with Rome. Can anyone cite evidence otherwise? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 134.48.160.61 (talk) 15:12, 16 October 2007 (UTC)

From what I've seen, Gregory is not on the calendar for the Latin rite, but is for the Eastern Catholic Churches. Using Roman Catholic as a term for the entire Church in union with Rome seems to be current Wikipedia policy, so as written it is correct, but very confusing. Jeff (talk) 20:41, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

However, both Roman Catholic and Eastern Catholic are listed, so the distinction should be made that the Roman Catholics other than the Eastern rite do not venerate him. It's needlessly confusing. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.93.107.231 (talk) 02:08, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

He is venerated throughout Catholicism, even if not actively, as evidenced by this site: [[1]], which is a Roman Catholic site, not an Eastern Catholic one. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.194.72.243 (talk) 03:27, 19 May 2008 (UTC)
