Prof Romanides propagates false teaching on Ancestral sin and our Redemption in Jesus Christ aswell as on Heaven and Hell besides his false ecumenism as regards the Monophysites.
How is his teaching on Ancestral Sin heretical? Most people I have talked to from a wide spectrum find his work on Ancestral sin to be monumental. You'll need to provide more than your opinion to back this statement up.
I have never heard a critique about him about his teaching on heaven and hell.
He later on in life realized his ecumenism with Non Chalcedonians was misguided and idealistic.
He is a dangerous heretic- maybe the most dangerous one of our time. His attitude towards St Augustine of Hippo is blasemphous.
He is on the mark with St Augustine's errors, although his refusal to honor St Augustine as a saint goes too far in my opinion. But Fr Seraphim (Rose) may have gone to the other extreme and let St Augustine off the hook too much in my opinion.
Those are "main issues". His historical theories are over stated and border on phlyetism. To carry a link to such dangerous writings without warning is plain evil.
His historical theories may be overstated but they are basically true and have helped many Orthodox form a more solid Orthodox mind, helping them to get out of a western mindset. His writings against Fr John Meyendorff on St Gregory Palamas are especially good.
I didnt call everyone in the USA modernists- just those who would carry a link to such an individual's writing without grave warnings.
It's interesting that out of the long list of links you focused on his writings. I hardly think Romanides is the dangerous heretic you make him out to be. "The Most dangerous heretic of the 20th century" is simply absurd.
What made Hieromonk Seraphim great was that he saw the importance of the Orthodox dogmas of creation, original sin, redemption and the particular judgement- that they were not side issues to be pushed aside by arguements over false ecumenism, sergianism and whether the local Church infected with them had fallen from Grace or not.
I find that Fr Seraphim was holy but focused too much on issues that only affected the Russian Church--notice we Greeks did not have these controversies over such minor issues as "the Dogma of Redemption" spill over into our Church. If the "Dogma of Redemption" were really such a big issue, it would have made it into other local churches and be something we'd all have heard about. but we haven't, and your focusing on it is well, a bit overdone in my opinion. Also, Fr Seraphim tended to overdogmatize toll houses and use spiritual writings as more dogmatic writings (like sermons on where the soul is on various days after its separation from the body).
Ecumenism is a much bigger issue than "the Dogma of Redemption."
The fact is that in many ways many people in the MP believe in a lot more of an Orthodox fashion than a lot of people in the various True Orthodox jurisdictions.
Just because you fancy Russian post 19th century theories of various things does not mean they are the Orthodox standard.
Geronda means elder doesnt it? Well St Ignati in the 19 th century said that there were no real elders left in his time.
So what if he thought that? He was wrong. You obviously are not familiar with the Greek church that you belong to.
