  • Health Policy of the Catholic Church in India
    The Church’s involvement in health and healing has its mandate from Jesus. He healed the sick, consoled the afflicted and fed the hungry. He freed people from all that hindered their growth. ‘Sharing and Fullness of Life’, the Health Policy of the Catholic Church in India is a reminder to all its members in joining hands to work for ‘a healthy society where people, especially the poor and the marginalized, attain and maintain holistic well- being and live in harmony with the Creator, the self, one another and the environment’. This document calls to intensify Church’s collaboration with the Government, NGOs and others, basing on the just laws of this country and the teachings of the Magisterium, in bringing to the people ‘the fullness of life’. The Policy offers valuable guidelines and strategies in view of a greater effective involvement in the healthcare in India.

  • The Holy See
    The Holy See GREETING OF THE HOLY FATHER BENEDICT XVI TO HIS BEATITUDE GEORGE ALENCHERRY MAJOR ARCHBISHOP OF THE SYRO-MALABAR CHURCH Clementine Hall Monday, 17 October 2011 Your Beatitude, I am pleased to greet you and the members of the Permanent Synod of the Syro-Malabar Church who have travelled to Rome in an expression of communion with the Successor of Peter, and I thank you for your kind words on their behalf and in your own name. This visit is a significant one, as it comes not long after your election as Major Archbishop. By coming here, you provide an eloquent sign of the hierarchical communion that you formally expressed in your recent letter to me requesting confirmation of your election. Your predecessor, the late Cardinal Varkey Vithayathil, has left a legacy upon which you and your brother Bishops will surely wish to build. In this context, I would like to recall the example of the two holy patrons of the Syro-Malabar Church, Saint Alphonsa Muttathupadathu and Blessed Kuriakose Elias Chavara, who were beatified by Blessed John Paul II, during his visit to Kerala twenty-five years ago. Later, the grace fell to me to canonize Saint Alphonsa in 2008. At home, the Syro-Malabar Church in Kerala continues to enjoy the respect of the local community for its work in education and for its social and charitable institutions at the service of the whole community. I know that life for Christians has been complicated by sectarian mistrust and even violence, but I would urge you to continue to work with people of good will of all religions in the area, in order to maintain the peace and harmony of the region, for the good of the Church and that of all citizens.
