Orthodoxy and the Religion of the Future: 1983 vs. 2004
Posted in 20th Century Orthodoxy, Fr. Seraphim Rose on | 1 minute | 2 Comments →
Ever since the inception of the Church, those who oppose certain ideas have been known to create outright forgeries, fraudulent interpolations or subtle omissions to various Patristic documents. Why, especially in the modern technological era where such things are quite easy even for a child, would we expect anything differently? We present below two sample pages from the 1983 and 2004 editions of Fr. Seraphim Rose’s “Orthodoxy and the Religion of the Future,” where Fr. Rose’s clear sentiments of support for traditional Orthodox groups have been omitted. We also provide a link to a downloadable PDF of the 1979 edition of the book.

Paul
says...This is very worrying, it makes me wonder what else has been censored?
I know that the original Blessed Seraphim Rose biography “Not of this World” has been altered quite a bit, does anyone know of any other works of Blessed Seraphim Rose that have been messed about with?
Unseen Warfare
says...“The fire of true Orthodoxy is still alive in many places: in the Catacomb Church of enslaved Russia, in the persecuted True Orthodox Christians of Greece, in the maligned Russian Church Outside of Russia, in the Zealots of Mt. Athos”— Hieromonk Seraphim (Rose)
