  • Chapter I Christianity in Kerala: Tracing Antecedents
    CHAPTER I CHRISTIANITY IN KERALA: TRACING ANTECEDENTS Introduction This chapter is an analysis of the early history of Christianity in Kerala. In the initial part it attempts to trace the historical background of Christianity from its origin to the end of seventeenth century. The period up to the colonial period forms the first part after which the history of the colonial part is given. This chapter also tries to examine how colonial forces interfered in the life of Syrian Christians and how it became the foremost factor for the beginning of conflicts. It tried to explain about the splits that happened in the community because of the interference of the Portuguese. It likewise deals with the relation of Dutch with the Syrian Christian community. It also discusses the conflict between the Jesuit and Carmelite missionaries. History of Christianity in Kerala in the Pre-Colonial Period Kerala, which is situated on the south west coast of Peninsular India, is one of the oldest centers of Christianity in the world. This coast was popularly known as Malabar. The presence of Christian community in the pre-colonial period of Kerala is an unchallenged reality. It began to appear here from the early days of Christendom.1 But the exact period in which Christianity was planted in Malabar, by whom, how or under what conditions, cannot be said with any confidence. However historians have offered unimportant guesses in the light of traditional legends and sources. The origin of Christianity was subject to wide enquiry and research by scholars. Different contradictory theories have been formulated by historians, religious leaders, and politicians on the Christian proselytizing in India.

  • The Church and the Catholicate
    The Church and the Catholicate Among the ancient Churches in Christendom, the Church of the East (Persian Church), the Armenian Church and the Georgian Church used the title Catholicos to designate the Supreme Heads of their Churches. The title indicates that the holder is the Head and Common Father of that particular Church. He is the Father of the Fathers. It was used by the Supreme Heads of the above mentioned three Churches, situated outside the boundary of the ancient Roman Empire. Thus the title became part of the common heritage of the Church of Christ. In the Roman Empire, in its place, the Chief Bishop was called Patriarch. Thus the bishops of Rome, Alexandria and Antioch were known as Patriarchs. The Bishops of Constantinople (today’s Istanbul in Turkey) and Jerusalem were raised to the status of Patriarch by the Ecumenical Council of Constantinople in 381 and Chalcedon in 451 respectively. Regarding the juridical and canonical powers, both Catholicos and Patriarch have the same rights and duties. Both are Father and Head of a sui juris Church (particular Church). Eventually the above mentioned three Catholicoi added the title Patriarch to their names. In Kerala/India it was in 1912 that the title Catholicos was introduced in the Syrian Jacobite (Orthodox) Church. Until that time the head of the Jacobite Church in India was known as the Malankara Metropolitan. The title Catholicos was established in India through the efforts of Fr. P. T. Geevarghese, a Jacobite priest (Archbishop Mar Ivanios in the Catholic Church since 1930), by the Senior Patriarch of Antioch, Mar Abd-al-Msiha, residing at that time in Tur-Abdin/Turkey.

ISSAC MATTAMMEL COR-EPISCOPA ..APPELLANT(S) VERSUS ST. MARY’S ORTHODOX SYRIAN CHURCH & ORS. ..RESPONDENT(S) O R D E R 1. Leave granted. 2. It passes comprehension that how the judge has passed the impugned interim order which runs expressly contrary to the decision of this Court in K.S. Verghese v. St. Peters & St. Pauls Syrian Orthodox Church & Ors., (2017) 15 SCC 333. This Court has passed several judgments and orders to the effect that no such interference can be made by any court after the decision has been rendered by this Court in a representative suit which is binding on all concerned and it is the constitutional duty of all concerned to obey the judgment and order of this Court. As per Article 141 of the Constitution of India, the law declared by this Court is binding on all courts and under Article 144, civil and judicial authorities within the territory of India shall act in aid of Supreme Court. Kerala being Indian Territory all concerned are bound to act accordingly. We have intended peace to come in Church but due to such orders passed in contravention of law laid down by this Court law can never be obeyed. This amount to a violation of judgment and order. The High Court has passed an interim order in violation of the judgments and orders passed by this Court.
