Really, which one is that, ROC, ROCOR or OCA? They all seem to be operating in North America.

All under the Atuhority of Patriarch Alexy of Moscow. You will note there is no patriarch of the OCA, or Patriarch of ROCOR. (Though even calling the OCA a Russian church in America is something of a misnomer).

“All under the Atuhority of Patriarch Alexy of Moscow.”

That’s actually not so. The news about the rapprochement in May, 2007 says they are in “communion” with, not under the authority of the Patriarch. If they were, why are there three denominations? Why not just one?
