Wow the encolpion

Thanks for these talks. I've heard that the Toll House doctrine is gnostic and heretical by some, but have also heard that Fr Seraphim Rose supported this doctrine as well as Father Thomas Hopko. Is it your opinion that the doctrine of Toll Houses is heretical?

I believe it’s in Part 2 of his 2020 Apologetics lecture, but he goes over this with the class. I don’t want to paraphrase and misrepresent what he says. It’s a great series though. Hope this is helpful.
