→Arguments in favor of OCA autocephaly
==Arguments in favor of OCA autocephaly==
The RussianMuscovite-American Metropolia arguments (also based made on canonical, historical and practical grounds) being refuted by the Byzantine Orthodox world may essentially be summed up as follows:
*Each autocephalous church has the right to grant autocephaly to its ecclesiastical daughter communities.
*The grant of autocephaly served to regularize relations between the [[Church of Russia]] and the [[OCA|Metropolia]] and gave the latter much-needed self-governance.
