Because all Churches haven't said he's one

I was asking why some Churches don't think he's a saint, which is what I thought you meant. After all, it's sort of irrelevant whether all Churches have glorified him or not. To my knowledge, only 1 church has glorified Saint Justin Popovich, but that doesn't mean I'm going to stop venerating him ;)

I thought it was Saint Juvenaly, not Juvenal? St. John of Shanghai and San Francisco is someone I venerate often, but occasionally Saints Tikhon, Innocent, Herman and Peter the Aleut too.

I heard from a former Roman Catholic priest that he wrote the Information Minister of OCA and he said that Peter the Aleut was just a legend. Can anyone write the Information Minister and clarify if this laicized priest's claim is true?

I've heard that Fr. Justin's only a saint locally and isn't recognized by the full Serbian church Is that true?

Saint Justin is recognized to be a saint by members of just about all jurisdictions. And Saint Justin has been officially glorified by the Serbian Church.
