To those asking why he is titled saint in this video. Being regarded as a Saint typically begin on the local level (such as it already has in the church in Georgia as well among individuals across the US and Russia). The canonization and recognition across all churches is done so through the synod which has not been called yet.

Interesting. His story feels very similar to mine, even though it is the inverse. Seraphim Rose went from Protestantism, to Alan Watts, nearly to atheism, to then discover the Orthodox Church. I went from atheism, to Alan Watts, to Protestantism, to then discover the Orthodox Church. I am very nearly a catechumen now.

Child of Charismatic renewal parents out of Roman Catholic and Episcopalian, was always interested in Greek philosophy and culture, wandered a great deal also, investigating Bhagavad Gita and as far as Zen, Watts was familiar to me also. Studied Jungian psychology also, even led into astrology from that point. Always had an interest in classical music, overtone singing, medieval music, and gregorian chanting... it took a particular woman Simone Weil to lead me back into what I would call Christianity, who I felt nearly diagnosed my condition which was similar to hers. Became baptized by pastors who ministered to me in my youth, and 7.5 years later I found myself in an Eastern Orthodox church, after spending those 7 years investigating my faith and examining it. Seraphim Rose is recognizable to me as a Saint in these modern times, similar to how Simone Weil felt like a Saint to me for all those outside of the church.

Instead, as a quick websearch will tell you, it should read "around the years 2003-2006 I had the honor of spending time with, praying with and listening to the spiritual words of a truly humble man who loved Orthodoxy with all his heart. I speak of Dimitri Langeron, who lives with his wife Irene and their son Nicholas. Dimitri is Fr. Seraphim Rose's godfather and a most pious and God-loving man." He spent time with Dimitri during 2003-2006, and his information on Rose is based on the testimony of this Dimitri.

@@zakcaldwell8465 Hmmm. This seems like a slippery slope, and very much non-Orthodox. I’m not denying the likelihood of Fr. Seraphim’s sainthood being inevitable, but when we start bending the standards to suit our own emotional desires we lose the proper order and boundaries that exist for everything else. Canonization is ultimately an event, not a blurry window of time. A woman doesn’t take the name of her husband before she is married even though she is engaged. We don’t sing Christ Is Risen during Holy Week just because Pascha is a certainty. We don’t call a future priest Father before he is ordained, even though the bishop has planned the ordination.

He was not "a gay man". He indulged in homosexuality before he found Christ. After he became Christian, he did no longer practice homosexuality and he described the period during which he did as follows: "I was in hell". This is a redemption arc of someone moving from depravity to holiness, and you have the gall to describe it as "a gay man who loves Christ"?

@@MJDahling Sainthood is RECOGNIZED by a synod. But he is already seen as a Saint by many of the Church Laymen of America. God is the one who makes saints. St Seraphim Rose is a Saint. Even if he is not recognized by the world it matters little. Especially when he wrote against both Ecumenist modernists and against the rigorist super correct schismatics. It makes sense that he is not recognized by modernist bishops. The only people I've seen question his sainthood are modernists. We have other Saints that are recognized by the laymen yet not by the hierarchs yet. Like Elder Ephraim of Philotheou and Arizona, Elder Aimilianos, and Elder Joseph of Vatopedi. All of these Saints have also wrote against modernism and ecumenism.

Agreed!!! This is dangerous to disregard the process just because we think it should be. He very well WILL be a saint when he is formally cannonized. But we live within the boundaries of time and order in our earthly existence and even within the Church. “Will be” and “is” are not the same. Otherwise you just have disorder, confusion, and chaos. Remember, patience is a virtue.
