  Churches existing with irregular or unresolved canonical status are entities that have carried out episcopal consecrations outside of the norms of canon law, or whose bishops have been excommunicated by one of the mainstream autocephalous churches. These include nationalist and other schismatic bodies such as the Abkhazian Orthodox Church and American Orthodox Catholic Church.
