I gusses that would be the reason, because the OCA broke away from ROCOR. He is very anti-OCA seems like. He would prefer I did not but if I have to he is ok with it. My military chaplain is OCA. He said if thats all I can get then thats all I can do. I am not a fan of the OCA myself.

I do not understand how one can be anti-OCA and then also say it is okay to go there for the mysteries. But could you please answer the other questions too please?

I believe the Antiochians to be okay because my priest has taught me the balance between Ecumenist and Tradtionalist Schismatic.

I dont like "Patriarch" Bartholomew because he has lost that balance. About the OCA. He is ROCOR can you expect any less from them (ROCOR) on the subject of the OCA? Me I accept that they are Orthodox but I find there "Autocephaly" to be fake.

Are you stupid.....??? What kind of comment is that about a priest? Would you say that to your priest? This hieromonk is very dear to me.
How would you like it if I calld you a "crack baby" and your mom a "Crack whore mom". Now I bet you dont find that very funny do you?
Why dont you use some common sense every once in a while. :ohvey:

Yes, perhaps I am stupid (it was just a joke however, as we can all see from various threads, you have no concept of the word). However, if we are talking about common sense, I think you must be on crack if you think the OCA is not OK when the Antiochans are, as the latter communes Monophosites, is highly modernist, ecumenistic, when the former pales in comparison (priest or no priest).

Anyway, you can call me (and my mom) what you like, as I could care less about your opinion. I have more important things to worry about than what some loosers think around here. Get a life and a grip :)

I believe the OCA to be Orthodox but I do not recognize there so called "Autocephelous" Status.

OrthodoxLearner,

I think you're very confused.

No I'm not confused. I learned Orthodoxy from ROCOR.
