No Roman Catholic Saints are recognized by the Orthodox Church after the 1054 schism.

The Eastern Orthodox Church has numerous saints who lived after the Great Schism of 1054, such as St. Sergius of Radonezh, St. Seraphim of Sarov, and St. Herman of Alaska, who are venerated for their holiness and spiritual guidance. The Catholic Church, particularly its Eastern rites, also recognizes and venerates many of these post-schism Orthodox saints, viewing them as figures of holiness who are not disqualified from being considered Catholic saints, as explained by Catholic Answers. 

Examples of post-schism saints

• St. Sergius of Radonezh: A 14th-century Russian saint and abbot, canonized in 1449.
• St. Gregory Palamas: A 14th-century Byzantine theologian who is venerated by both Eastern Orthodox and some Eastern Catholic churches.
  • St. Seraphim of Sarov: A prominent Russian saint of the 18th and 19th centuries, venerated in many Orthodox and Eastern Catholic churches, notes Reddit users.
  • St. Herman of Alaska: An 18th and 19th-century missionary monk who is a key figure in the history of Orthodoxy in North America, according to the Orthodox Calendar Company.
  • St. Elizabeth the New Martyr: A 20th-century Russian saint, also featured on icons in Eastern Catholic churches, according to Reddit users.
  • St. John Maximovich: Another 20th-century saint venerated by Eastern Orthodox and some Eastern Catholic faithful, notes Reddit users. 

Why are these saints recognized?

• Orthodox perspective: The Orthodox Church continues to canonize saints who embody spiritual life and holiness after 1054. They are venerated for their wisdom and connection to God.
• Catholic perspective: The Catholic Church, especially through the Eastern Catholic churches, has incorporated many of these post-schism figures into its devotional life. This is seen as a way to acknowledge the shared heritage and spiritual depth of the Orthodox tradition, as noted on the Catholic Answers website and in this YouTube video.
