First, I would like to say something about the internet in general.
Juvenaly was dismayed that I should post a link to his biography. To an extent I regret having done so, but one should also keep in mind that anything posted on a website, even if there is no direct link to it, is spoken in public. Things that I posted in the newsgroups fifteen years ago are permanently recorded in Google-- some to my regret. One should not bare one's soul in public if one doesn't accept the consequences of people looking.
I don't intend to pursue the issue of ROAC again here. As much as can be said has been said, and if as august a figure as Seraphim Rose is not to be heeded, who then would heed me?
I would rather address the issue of seriousness. If one is going to say "Orthodoxy or Death!" and will not move to California or New Jersey or wherever the parish is, is this really serious? Is moving more of an inconvenience than death? When young men without attachments cannot bring themselves to go to where they can truly attend a church of their chosen jurisdiction, how serious is this?
It's one thing to say, "I have faith that ROAC is where grace is"; with that I will not argue here. But one must then, it seems to me, be willing to go to where ROAC is.
