==Glorification==
According to the Wikipedia article linked, ROCOR didn't glorify Fr Pavel, and considered it impossible to do so. — edited by [[User:Pistevo|<font color="red">Pι</font>]][[Special:Listusers/sysop|s]][[User talk:Pistevo|<font color="yellow">τ</font>]][[Special:Contributions/Pistevo|é]][[User:Pistevo|<font color="blue">vο</font>]] at 21:05, June 13, 2006 (CDT)
: ''Pavel'' seems to be the name under which his books are published. It's also the name I hear used most for him around the seminary. (In fact, I've never heard him called ''Paul''.) —[[User:ASDamick|<font color="blue"><b><i>Dcn.

:I think we should keep the article as Pavel. We can add a (or Paul) in parens perhaps -- it's really the same in translation of course, and we shouldn't be suprised to find different usages. Bill, you're thinking of Matushka Olga Michael in Alaska. Local veneration is different from formal canonization. (I don't have a problem with the term "canonization" since I think it's an accurate description of what is being done. I'm not sure that attempts to purge it from our language aren't just over-zealous attempts to assert Orthodoxness over against Roman Catholic canonization practices. Not sure what the real history of both terms is, but "canonize" describes very well in my mind what is being done with these folks -- more than "glorified" even, since it is really only God who can glorify someone.)
