    A Brief look at the life of Our Beloved Catholicos Baselios Mar Thoma Mathews II Published on May 9, 2006 By Rev. Fr. Alexander J. Kurien Vicar & President (1989-2007) St. Gregorios Indian Orthodox Church Of Greater Washington We mourn the loss of our former Catholicos H.H. Baselios Marthoma Mathews II, 89th successor to the Holy Apostolic Throne of St. Thomas. Our beloved Holiness passed away in the Lord from this earthy tent on January 26. The mortal remains of His Holiness were buried at Mount Horeb Monastery Chapel at Sasthamkotta. His Holiness Baselios Mar Thoma Mathews II, born January 30, 1915, was Catholicos of the East, Malankara Metropolitan, and 89th successor to the Holy Apostolic Throne of St. Thomas. His Holiness was born at Perinad in Kollam District of Kerala, and had his religious training at Old Seminary Kottayam and also at Basil Dayara, Pathanamthitta. Later he joined Bishop's College, Calcutta for his B. D. Degree, and studied Theology at the General Theologocal Seminary in New York. He was ordained Deacon in 1938 and then as Priest, Fr.

  • Consecration of Holy Myron
    Consecration of Holy Myron: Frequently Asked Questions 1.) How many times has Holy Myron been consecrated in Malankara? The most recent (3 April, 2009, at Devalokam Aramana Chapel) consecration was the ninth instance. Syriac Patriarchs consecrated Holy Myron in 1876 and 1911, respectively by Patriarch Ignatius Peter IV (27 August, 1876) and Patriarch Ignatius Abdullah II Satuff (19 August, 1911). Mulanthuruthy Marthoman Church was the venue on both occasions. After the Catholicate was relocated in 1912, Catholicos Baselius Geevarghese II consecrated Holy Myron twice at the Old Seminary Chapel (22 April, 1932, and 20 April, 1951). Catholicos Baselius Augen I consecrated the Holy Myron once on 21 December, 1967, again at the Old Seminary Chapel. Catholicos Baselius Marthoma Mathews I consecrated the Holy Myron twice (1 April, 1977, and 25 March, 1988), the first instance at the Old Seminary Chapel and on the second occasion at the Devalokam Aramana Chapel. Catholicos Baselius Marthoma Mathews II consecrated the Holy Myron once on 26 March, 1999, at the Devalokam Aramana Chapel. 2.) Are there any other instances of Holy Myron consecration in Malankara? Yes. Patriarch Zakka I Iwas of the Syriac Church has consecrated the Holy Myron for the breakaway Jacobite faction twice at Manarcaud St Mary’s Church (27 February, 1982) and Marthomen Cheriyapalli, Kothamangalam (25 September, 2004). 3.) Who can consecrate the Holy Myron? The convention of consecration of Holy Myron has evolved over the centuries. In most churches, the right is reserved for the Head of the Church. In the Roman Catholic Church, bishops are authorized to do the consecration.

  • The Holy See
    The Holy See ADDRESS OF JOHN PAUL II TO THE MEMBERS OF THE PREPARATORY COMMITTEE CHARGED WITH PREPARING THE THEOLOGICAL DIALOGUE BETWEEN THE CATHOLIC CHURCH AND THE ORIENTAL ORTHODOX CHURCHES Tuesday, 28 January 2003 Your Eminences, Your Excellencies, Dear Fathers,I am pleased to welcome the members of the Preparatory Committee charged with preparing the theological dialogue between the Catholic Church and the Oriental Orthodox Churches. First of all, I greet the representatives of the Oriental Orthodox Churches themselves. Through you, I extend my fraternal greetings to my Venerable Brothers, the Heads of the Churches which you represent: His Holiness Pope Shenouda III, His Holiness Patriarch Zakka I Iwas, His Holiness Catholicos Karekin II, His Holiness Catholicos Aram I, His Holiness Patriarch Paulus, His Holiness Patriarch Yakob and His Holiness Baselios Mar Thoma Mathews II. I recall with gratitude the various opportunities I have had to meet them and to strengthen the bonds of charity between us. My greetings also go to the Catholic members of this Preparatory Committee, representing various communities from both East and West.Substantial ecumenical progress has already been made between the Catholic Church and the different Oriental Orthodox Churches. Essential clarifications have been reached with regard to traditional controversies about Christology, and this has enabled us to profess together the faith we hold in common. This progress is most encouraging, since "it shows us that the path followed is the right one and that we can reasonably hope to discover together the solution to other disputed questions" (Ut Unum Sint, 63). May your efforts to establish a Joint Commission for Theological Dialogue prove a major step forward towards full communion in truth and charity.Many of you come from the Middle East and surrounding countries.

  • Intersection of Criminal Justice Personnel to Commissioners 8.6.20
    Deliberative and Pre-decisional Chapter 10. Criminal Justice System Personnel Intersection Introduction of the Issue The commission examined how the missions of law enforcement personnel, judges, prosecutors, defense attorneys, and correctional authorities intersect so that the criminal justice system can better prevent and control crime and serve victims. The federal government influences the state, local, and tribal criminal justice ecosystem in many ways. Several of these were determined to be particularly important to the commission: The federal government, which establishes and develops national policies and initiatives that help standardize and unify the administration of justice, is responsible for ensuring that citizens’ rights are never violated by criminal justice system personnel. Further, federal criminal justice legislation on criminal justice issues can help provide consistency to a patchwork of state criminal justice codes. Federal grant funding, which plays a role in shaping criminal justice practices at the state and local level, helps promote uniform tracking of key outcomes using evidence-based practices and evaluations. For some types of crimes, including those involving interstate commerce or transportation of illegal goods or services, federal statutes establish a “federal nexus” that allows, but does not require, prosecution in federal court.1 The commission identified issues at the intersection of criminal justice components, which include promising programs and practices that should be supported and further developed to increase efficiency. Topics, all interrelated, are arranged in sequential order based on the component most responsible for or affected by it. 10.1 Law Enforcement Background The major roles for law enforcement agencies include selectively enforcing the law, protecting the public, arresting violators, and preventing crime.
