Comment posted Major Arch Bishop Alencheril Mar Giwargis II Bava-The Patriarch of Syro Malabar Church and The Gate of All India- A Discussion on The Historical Hierarchical Status of The Church of Saint Thomas Christians by Anto.
The Puthenkoor faction always cook up stories to cover up faults and their lacunae.PUTHEN KOOR itself means new allegience.
PAZHAYA KOOR IS ONLY SYRO MALABAR CHURCH.
A visit to Marth Mariam Forane Church at Kuravilangad built around 350 AD and the tombs of Arch Deacons who ruled the St.Thomas church in Kerala is testimony to these facts.
ONLY THE LATIN CATHOLIC CHURCH CAME HERE AFTER PORTUGUESE.
East Syrian words are found even in the West Syrian liturgy of Jacobite/Orthodox churches due to the influence of Syro Malabar Church.
How will these people explain the presence of statues of Mother Mary at Manarcad Jacobite Church and the inscription of ‘Mishiha kalam’ on a tomb inside Manarcad Church.
‘Mishiha Kalam’ is found only in the liturgical calender of Syro Malabar Church.
I challenge Mr.Aji to show such a ‘Mishiha Kalam” in West Syrian or Antiochean Liturgy.
Due to latinisation policy of Portuguese an unfortunate divide occured in the Syrian Church.
Our forefathers have fought against it.Mani Kathanar and others have fought against it.Ithaco Kathanar of Idappally died in jail protesting against ‘Parangis’
THEY WERE ALL SYRO MALABAR PRIESTS FIGHTING FOR LEGITIMATE RIGHTS OF SYRIANS.
Opposing Latinisation is not opposing universal Catholic Church.
