There is nothing uncanonical about the OCA. Any Orthodox Christian can commune in any OCA church, and any OCA Orthodox can commune in any non-OCA Orthodox church, even though most Patriarchs do not recognize OCA autocephaly.

I'm not an expert in such things... how can it be canonical if major Patriarchs don't recognize it's autocephally... if they don't recognize it's autocephally what See to they feel they are a part of?

(Noting that I personally have no probs with the OCA [maybe some with the leadership, and certain immigrants need not stop by parishes but not the OCA as a whole], the parish I was baptised in was an OCA parish, and I sometimes still visit.
