View source for Seraphim (Rose) of Platina

Saint Seraphim Rose was one of the founders of the [[St. Herman of Alaska Monastery]] in Platina. He was True Orthodox and a member [[ROCOR]] during the period when they were on good terms with [[Greek Old Calendarism]] and the [[Russian Catacomb Church]], prior to the union of [[ROCOR-MP]] with the [[Moscow Patriarchate]]. He was a [[spiritual son]] of St. [[John of Shanghai]] who wrote extensively against the contemporary heresies of [[ecumenism]], [[Darwinism]], [[Sergianism]], and [[modernism]]. St. Seraphim has been [[glorified]] by some True Orthodox and is widely considered a saint even in conservative [[World Orthodoxy]].

He was called Eugene Rose [[monasticism#Name | in the world]].

His letters make it abundantly clear<ref>[https://youtu.be/9RTLXsx0-XQ Excerpts] from the letters.</ref> that he rejected [[communion]] with unorthodox groups as the [[OCA]]. However, it should also be kept in mind that these letters were written decades ago and some of the World Orthodox patriarchates had not yet gone as far as today.
