What do you know about Orthodoxy and American Orthodox persons..?

Question

It is important to know that Seraphim Rose was an Orthodox person. He didn't want to sin and became an Orthodox Christian. What else do you know about him?

Answer 1

"Hieromonk Seraphim Rose, né Eugene Dennis Rose (August 13, 1934-September 2, 1982) was a hieromonk of the Russian Orthodox Church Outside Russia in the United States, whose writings have helped spread Orthodox Christianity throughout modern America and the West and are also quite popular in Russia. Although not formally glorified (canonized), he is (some say prematurely) celebrated by some Orthodox Christians as a saint in iconography, liturgy, and prayer"

Answer 2

I know your intolerant behavior in the "Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender" was unfounded, unwelcome and simply just thinly veiled hate.

Your reply to the questioner that he needed "real love" was erroneous and off base. Your presumption that gay/lesbian relationships are not "real" is disgusting and insulting.

Trust me, we know there are plenty of you who don't approve of or don't understand gays and lesbians, but your irrational need to continuously spew vinegar at us is completely unnecessary.

Answer 3

A lot. I'm Romanian, so I'm naturally familar with this religion and its habits. Ştiu multe, dar nu ar încăpea aici. ;)
