(Let us have as invalid for canonical effects, the baptism of:

l Los que se declaran Ortodoxos en M�xico provenientes de la Iglesia Ortodoxa Mexicana o sucesores del Patriarca P�rez
(Those who declare themselves Orthodox in Mexico coming from the "Mexican Orthodox Church" or succesors of "Patriarch Perez")
l N�tese aqu� la Iglesia de Camargo Melo
(Note here the Church of Camargo Melo)
l Los llamados Ortodoxos de la Colonia Pe��n de los Ba�os
(The so-called Orthodox of Pe�on de los Ba�os Street)
l Los del Cerro de la Estrella.
(Those from the Estrella Mountain)

Those from Pe�on de los Ba�os Street are the Exarchate of Mexico (OCA).
