Which church does Pope Leo IX not have sainthood recognition from?

  • Eastern Orthodox

  • Catholic Church

  • Anglican Communion

  • Coptic Church

Answer

Eastern Orthodox does not recognize the sainthood of Pope Leo IX due to theological differences and disputes related to papal authority and the Great Schism of 1054. This division between Western and Eastern Christianity resulted in differing perspectives on canonization and the recognition of saints, causing Pope Leo IX to not be venerated as a saint in Eastern Orthodox tradition.
