catholicism eastern-orthodox church-fathers saint origen

                          I've heard and read in "**Worlds Made by Words: Scholarship and Community in the Modern West**" (book by *Anthony Grafton*, page 222) that Origen was considered a Church Father but not a Saint by either the Roman Catholic or Eastern Orthodox Church?  Why is this so?
