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.

FINANCE OFFICER IN THE SYRO-MALABAR MAJOR ARCHIEPISCOPAL CHURCH by Matthew CHANGANKARY A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Canon Law Saint Paul University, Ottawa, Canada, in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Canon Law Ottawa, Canada Saint Paul University 2012 © Matthew Changankary, Ottawa, Canada, 2012 ABSTRACT The promulgation of the CCEO and the elevation of the Syro-Malabar Church sui iuris to the status of a major archiepiscopal Church, on 16 December 1992, are important milestones in the recent history of the Church. The new status of the Syro- Malabar Church necessitated a revised system of administration of its temporal goods. Previously the administration of ecclesiastical goods of the Syro-Malabar Church was ruled predominantly by the motu proprios Postquam apostolicis litteris, Cleri sanctitati, and customary law both at the eparchial and parish levels. In the present situation a new ecclesiastical office, that of the finance officer of the major archiepiscopal Church, was created. The thesis presents the office of finance officer and examines critically the canonical aspects of his/her status and duties. It analyzes the canons contained in CCEO related to temporal goods, as well as other universal and particular ecclesiastical norms. In particular, the sources include various synodal decrees, eparchial/diocesan statutes of the Syro-Malabar Church, and relevant particular laws of the respective major archiepiscopal Churches. Pertinent Indian civil laws are also considered in the context of the functions of the finance officer. The thesis provides a historical perspective of the financial administration of the Syro-Malabar Church, and then continues to situate the office of the finance officer in the organizational structure of the financial administration of the Syro-Malabar Church.

Letter to Cardinal Varkey Vithayathil on Violence Against
Committee on International Justice and Peace 3211 FOURTH STREET NE • WASHINGTON DC 20017-1194 • 202-541-3160 WEBSITE: WWW.USCCB.ORG/JPHD • FAX 202-541-3339 September 19, 2008 His Eminence Cardinal Varkey Vithayathil, C.SS.R. Major Archbishop of Ernakulam-Angamaly President, Catholic Bishops’ Conference of India Archdiocesan Curia Mount St. Thomas P.O. Box 2580, P.O. Kakkanad Kochi-682031 Kerala, India Your Eminence: It is with great sorrow and shock that our Conference of Bishops has followed the attacks on Christians and Christian institutions of the past few weeks in India. The brutal murder of a priest in Andhra Pradesh on August 16 was followed a week later by attacks against Christians in Orissa in misplaced retaliation for the killing of Hindu leader, Swami Laxmanananda Saraswati, despite the Maoists allegedly having claimed responsibility. I understand that killings, destruction of Christian communities, churches and institutions in Orissa continue and that violence has spread to Kerala and is beginning in Karnataka. As Chairman of the Committee on International Justice and Peace of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, I want to express our solidarity with the Church in India in this time of trouble and enormous suffering. I understand that Catholic Relief Service is working discreetly, at the request of local government and with local partners, to provide emergency medical care to those who fled their homes and are now in camps in Orissa. You, your fellow bishops and all the Church are in our thoughts in this time of need. Praying that the Lord will continue to give you and the Church in India strength and grace in these trying times, I remain Fraternally yours in Christ, Most Reverend Thomas G.
