Mull Monastery=Eastern Orthodox?

[Tigger45]

I’m having a hard time confirming if Mull Monastery is officially Eastern Orthodox.
Their YouTube channel came up as a random selection as I was searching for videos to watch. It seemed interesting enough but I wanted to check if they were actually Eastern Orthodox but this is all I could find. Any help would be appreciated.

Jurisdictionally, the Monastery functions with the blessing of His Eminence Joseph, the Metropolitan for Southern and Western Europe of the Romanian Orthodox Patriarchate.

yes, they are. Romania is canonical.

Yes, Fr. Seraphim talks that he is an Orthodox from Romania in the latest video:

btw, why he own different looking icons? afaik Orthodox icons are based on Byzantine icons and innovations are strictly prohibited

NOTE: His videos are REALLY helpful for me

icons for personal use are sometimes more flexible than official Church use. many of those icons you probably would see in a personal home altar, and not a parish altar.

Yes, in a church they have Byzantine icons.
Now it makes sense, thank you father

 

[ArmyMatt]

no problem, I have some icons made by friends that while are not "proper," nevertheless help me pray since they were given out of love.
