    Rude Priests?

    Thanks for all the replies so far. Not to get into too much detail, but the priest basically yelled at me and questioned whether I had true faith for something I just didn't plain understand. It was really uncalled for, and has made me feel really let down.

    Rude Priests?

    Greetings in the Lord, all! Today a priest was incredibly rude to me in church. And thinking back I have known many priests with grisly personalities. Though, I have met a some very kind ones as well. I was wondering, has this been my bad luck, or is there some sort of tendency for this among...

    Voice of Fr. Seraphim Rose

    Hieromonk Seraphim (Rose) "Great Lent, Our Exile" "By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down, yea, we wept, when we remembered Zion." In these words of the Lenten psalm, we Orthodox Christians, the New Israel, remember that we are in exile. For Orthodox Russians banished from Holy...

    Is the teaching of Toll Houses "heresy"?

    Greetings in the Lord, First of all, Dr. Michael Azkoul is schismatic priest. If you don't hold Fr. Seraphim (Rose) in high respect because he taught about toll-houses, you would have to say the same thing about St. John of San Francisco, St. Theophan the Recluse, St. Ignatius Brianchaninov...

    Voice of Fr. Seraphim Rose

    Greetings in the Lord! Blessed Seraphim (Rose) of Platina was not calling E.T. the character a literal real life demon. What he was saying was that this idea of accepting strange creatures that appear out of nowhere is similar to the stories of demons appearing in the lives of the saints. So...

    By the grace of God. I will quote two of the stories from the lives of the saints as given to us by the Prologue of Ohrid by St. Nicholas of Zica.

    Fr Seraphim Rose

    Greetings in the Lord! In the Prologue of Ohrid, St. Nicholas of Zica makes it clear that toll-houses exist. In fact, in the lives of the saints, some of the saints whole stories as based around their experiences with the toll-houses. It's hard to define exactly what a toll-house is. But to...
