Answer

Tertullian, an influential Early Christian theologian from the 2nd-3rd centuries, is considered a Father of the Church; however, he has never been canonized as a saint. While his contributions to Christian thought were significant, some of his later theological views diverged from mainstream Christianity, leading to his eventual exclusion from the list of recognized saints.
