@ John Mathew
Have to respectfully reject the statements of John Mathew.
MOSC history is more in lines with the Syro-Malabar version, acknowledging the Persian/Assyrian connection.
Jacobite version, do not concede the presence of Persians in Malankara. According to them, Malankara Nasranis were always under the Universal throne of Syrian Patriarch.
The anti catholic mentality of the Jacobites/Orthodox ;is because of the overly inappropriate misadventures of the Syro-Malankara Reeth.
From, approx 1820 till 1890’s, the Malankara Church, was reeling with the Marthomite-Anglican issue.
From 1912 – 1956, the Jacobite- Orthodox tussle and the restart of it from 1970.
I would be amazed, at the capacity of the Orthodox/Jacobite leadership in finding time to indoctrinate their masses ( that too anti-catholic).
And the activities of Syro-Reeth. Oh, that’s just soaked gun powder!!!!
Also, let’s forget, Mathu Tharakan and his cronies.
