But there are all kinds of characters amongst monastics, just like amongst laity. A very good point.... of crouse there are the very holy and saintly monastics, but a good number are just like the rest of us slowly trying to work out thier own salvation. I think that is why Father Seraphim and even...

The existence of ROAC

This came up from a thread on the "infamous" other board... Why did Metr. Valentine leave the ROCOR (and don't get into the semantics game that ROCOR left him etc.)? I had previously thought it was over ROCOR's communion with Metr. Cyprian, but now I am somewhat confused over the issue. Al...
