Lentorama 2018: Second String Saints
Day 6 - Pope Mark
Mark is another of those early popes about whom we know almost nothing other than the dates of his pontificate. It's also not clear how he managed to earn sainthood. His run as pope was relatively quiet, some schmimatics were still causing problems, and Mark is thought to have built a couple of basilicas. Overall, it's not clear how he wound up a saint in the first place. So his demotion to local calendars only doesn't seem like a problem, though I do have an objection of a personal nature.
