I. GENERAL INFORMATION

1. THE CATHOLIC CHURCH

The Church had its beginning in Palestine with the historical Pentecost in Jerusalem, which happened subsequent to the resurrection and ascension of the Lord Jesus Christ. The Church, thus started, spread to other regions of the world. As it spread, certain cities, like Jerusalem, Antioch, Alexandria and Constantinople in the East and Rome in the West of the Roman Empire, and India & Mesopotamia outside the Roman Empire, became centres of Christian life and missionary endeavours. Each centre developed its own practices of worship. These various groups of the faithful were held together by a hierarchy of their own. Thus separate Rites and individual Churches came into existence. But they were organically united in the Holy Spirit through the same faith and sacraments but grew with different liturgy, discipline, spirituality and theology. Hence the Catholic Church is a communion of different individual Churches.

The West & the East: The ecclesiastical distinction between the West and the East came into existence at the end of the third century. It was Emperor Diocletian who for the convenience of administration made this division of the Roman Empire. Eastern empire was also known as the Byzantine empire because its capital was Byzantium (Constantinople) (the present Istanbul of Turkey). Based on this division, the Church also came to be known as Western and Eastern. The Church which developed in and around Rome was called the Western Church or the Latin Church and the other Churches which developed in other five centres either in the Eastern Roman Empire or even more east to it were called Eastern Churches. These Churches were Alexandria, Antioch, Constantinople (all in the Eastern Roman empire), Armenia and Persia (further east to the Eastern Roman Empire).

As a result of evangelization drive and missionary enterprises under the leadership of Propaganda Fide and Padrovado, which started

thmainly by 15 century, and globalization and migration to various parts of the globe in search of means for livelihood and education, this kind of distinction like Western and Eastern Churches which had been existing for a long time in the history of the Church, has become now irrelevant.

of different individual Churches sui iuris which emerged from the second Vatican Council, there is no “so called fixed boundary” for any Church sui iuris in the world. Wherever there is sizeable number of the faithful belonging to a particular sui iuris church in the Catholic Communion, whether it be in the West or in the East, it is entitled to have its own pastoral leadership, Liturgy, discipline, administration etc. (cf. CCEO c. 916 #5), subject to the Supreme authority of the Church.

Thus the One, Holy, Apostolic and Catholic Church of Christ is a communion of different Churches sui iuris (LG 8; 23, OE 1-3; UR 16-17, CCEO c. 27). At present, there are 23 Sui iuris Churches in the Catholic communion under six ecclesial traditions.

POPE FRANCIS

The first Pope of the Americas Jorge Mario Begoglio hails from Argentina. 76 year old Jesuit Archbishop of Buenos Aires was prominent figure throughout the continent, yet remained a simple pastor who was deeply loved by his diocese, throughout which he had been travelling extensively on the underground and by bus during the 15 years of his Episcopal ministry.

“My people are poor and I am one of them”, he has said more than once, explaining his decision to live in an apartment and cook his own supper. He has always advised his priests to show mercy and apostolic courage and to keep their doors open to everyone. The worst thing that could happen to the Church, he has said on various occasions, “is what De Lubac called spiritual worldliness”, which means, “being self-centred”. And when he speaks of social justice, he calls people first of all to pick up the Catechism, to rediscover the Ten Commandments and the Beatitudes. His project is simple: if you follow Christ, you understand that “trampling upon a person's dignity is a serious sin”.

thHe was born in Buenos Aires on 17 December 1936 as the son of Italian immigrants. His father Mario was an accountant employed by the railways and his mother Regina Sivori was a committed wife dedicated to raising their five children. He graduated as a chemical technician and then chose the path of the priesthood, entering the

theparchial Seminary of Villa Devoto. On 11 March 1958 he entered ththe novitiate of the Society of Jesus. On 13 December 1969 he was

ordained priest by Archbishop Ramon Jose Castellano. He continued his training between 1970 and 1971 at the University of Alcala de

ndHenares, Spain, and on 22 April 1973 made his final profession with the Jesuits.

stOn 31 July 1973 he was elected Provincial of the Jesuits in Argentina, an office he held for six years. In March 1986 he went to Germany to finish his doctoral thesis; his superiors then sent him to

the Colegio del Salvador in Buenos Aires and next to the Jesuit Church in the city of Cordoba as spiritual director and confessor.

thOn 20 May 1992 Pope John Paul II appointed him titular Bishop of thAuca and Auxiliary of Buenos Aires. On 27 May he received

Episcopal ordination from the Cardinal in the Cathedral. He chose as rdhis Episcopal motto miserando atque eligendo. On 03 June, 1997, he

was raised to the dignity of Co-adjutor Archbishop of Buenos Aires. Not even nine months had passed when, upon the death of Cardinal

thQuarracino, he succeeded him on 28 February 1998, as Archbishop, Primate of Argentina and Ordinary for the faithful of various Eastern Churches in Argentina who had no Ordinary of their own Churches sui iuris. Three years later, at the Consistory of 21 February 2001, Pope John Paul II created him Cardinal, assigning him the title of the Parish of San Roberto Bellarmino. He asked the faithful not to come to Rome to celebrate his taking possession of cardinalship, but rather to donate to the poor what they would have spent on the journey. As Grand chancellor of the Catholic University of Argentina, he is the author of the books: Meditaciones para religiosos (1982), Reflexiones sobre la vida apostolica (1992) and Reflexiones de esperanza (1992).

thIn October 2001 he was appointed General relator to the 10 Ordinary General Assembly of the Synod of Bishops on the Episcopal ministry. This task was entrusted to him at the last minute to replace Cardinal Edward Michael Egan, Archbishop of New York, who was

thobliged to stay in his homeland because of the terrorist attacks on 11 September in the same year. At the Synod he placed particular emphasis on “the prophetic mission of the bishop”, his being a “prophet of justice”, his duty to “preach ceaselessly” the social doctrine of the Church and also “to express an authentic judgement in matters of faith and morals”. He declined to be appointed as President of the Argentinian Bishops' Conference in 2002, but three years later he was elected and then, in 2008, reconfirmed for a further three-year mandate. Meanwhile, in April 2005 he took part in the Conclave in

which Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger was elected Pope.

As Archbishop of Buenos Aires- an Archdiocese with more than three million inhabitants- he had in his mind a missionary project based on communion and evangelization. He had four main goals: open and brotherly communities, an informed laity with leadership roles, evangelization efforts addressed to every inhabitant of the city, and assistance to the poor and the sick.He aimed at re-evangelization of Buenos Aires, “taking into account those who live there, its structure and history”. He asked priests and lay people to work together. In September 2009 he launched solidarity campaign for the bicentenary of the Independence of the country. Two hundred charitable agencies were to be set up by 2016. And on a continental scale, he expected much from the impact of the message of the Aparecida Conference in 2007, to the point of describing it as the “Evangelii Nuntiandi of Latin America”.

As a cardinal, he had been a member of the Congregation for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments, the Congregation for the Clergy, the Congregation for the Institutes of the Consecrated Life and the Societies of the Apostolic Life, the Pontifical Council for the Family and the Pontifical Commission for the Latin America. He was

1. Historical Overview

St. Thomas, one of the twelve apostles of Jesus Christ, after the Pentecosal experience set about with the mission of propagating His Gospel throughout the whole world.

According to the Indian tradition, St. Thomas came by sea and landed at Kodungalloor (formerly it was known as Cranganore), the capital of the then Chera Empire about the year 52 A.D. He is said to have converted high caste Hindu families in Kodungalloor and Palayoor (Trichur). From there he went to Coromandal and underwent martyrdom near the Little Mount at Madras in Tamilnadu in 72 A.D. His body was brought to Mylapore and buried in a holy shrine.

Both written and oral traditions gathered from all classes of people in and around Mylapore indicate that St. Thomas, whom the inhabitants called “the holy man” arrived at Mylapore and lived there for some time, preached and worked miracles and built a Holy House which was called by the natives “the House of the Holy Man” and after his death, he was buried in that house.

The tradition holds that St. Thomas founded seven churches (communities) in South India: They were at Kodungalloor, Niranam, Kollam, Chayal, Kottakkavu, Kokkamangalam and Palayoor. According to the Ramban song, St. Thomas converted 17,550 people of whom 6850 were Brahmins. He ordained priests and consecrated Bishops. The Apostle consecrated Kepa, a native as Bishop of Kodungalloor and the head of St. Thomas Christians and Paul as the Bishop of Mylapore. It is worth mentioning that the Apostle gave his converts a way of worship suited to their culture in their own native language and that he did not impose any jewish customs on them.

From the fourth century A.D. onwards, the Church of St.Thomas Christians came into intimate relationship with the Christian communities in Asia Minor. It is one of the four Eastern Churches having in common the East Syrian Liturgical traditions. The others are those of Edessa, Seleucia-Ctesiphon and Persia. On account of this common heritage the Syro-Malabar Church continued its hierarchical relations with the Chaldean Church under the Catholicate of Seleucia-Ctesiphon. The St. Thomas Christians shared the liturgical, spiritual, theological and canonical traditions with the East Syrian Church. However, they kept their distinctive character especially in Church administration and socio-cultural and spiritual life.

Today the Syro-Malabar faithful are found mostly in the Federal States of Kerala, Tamilnadu and Karnataka and in the big cities of India as well as in the Arabian Gulf countries, U.S.A. and Europe. But there are evidences to believe that there were communities of these Christians in other parts of India right from the early centuries and for some reasons unknown they seem to have ceased to exist.

In those days the head of the Indian Church was called “the Metropolitan and Gate of all India” and had jurisdiction all over the country. When the Chaldean bishops came to India as the spiritual heads of the Independent Metropolitan provinces under the East Syrian Patriarch, the administration of the Church was done by a

priest with the title “Archdeacon of all India” (Jathikukarthavyan). The Archdeacon carried out the administration through general and local assemblies called palliyogam. Because of the close association of St. Thomas Christians with the East Syrian Church, the Indian Church of St. Thomas is classified in history as belonging to the Chaldean ritual family as mentioned in CCEO c. 28#2.

As Pope Pius XII remarked, “During the centuries that India was cut off from the West and despite many trying vicissitudes, the Christian communities formed by the Apostle conserved intact the legacy he

thleft them, and as soon as the sea passage at the close of the 15 century offered a link with their fellow Christians of the West, the union with them was spontaneous [AAS, XLV (1953), pp. 96-97]. Thus the Syro-Malabar Church, as the Blessed Pope John Paul II said, never severed from the communion with the Church of Rome, in a continuity that the enormous geographic distance has never been able to break” (Insegnamenti Giovanni Paulo II , III/2, Roma 1980, p. 513). This uninterrupted continuity in the relationship between the Apostolic See of Rome and the Church of St. Thomas Christians in India is very evident from the fact that in the XV and XVI centuries their Metropolitans who were then East Syrians had taken Angamaly as their Residential See (cf. Bulls of Pope Julius III dated 10 March 1553 and 4 May 1553 in Giamil, Genuinae relations… , Romae 1902, pp. 17-18, 24).

thAs the Portuguese came to India in 16 centuries, the Latin missionaries, suspecting the St. Thomas Christians as heretics, started Latinizing them and gradually they were brought hierarchically under the Latin bishops, especially through the decrees of the Synod of Diamper (Udayamperoor) (1599). With this synod St. Thomas Christians were brought under Latin jurisdiction of the Portuguese Padroado through the appointment of Mgr. Francis Roz, a Portuguese missionary as the first Latin bishop of the Metropolitan See of St.

ndThomas Christians. On the 22 December 1610 Archbishop Menezes of Goa issued a decree restricting the jurisdictional rights of the

Metropolitan of St. Thomas Christians to certain areas in the present States of Kerala, Karnataka, Tamilnadu and Andra Pradesh (cf. Bullarium Romanum…, vol. XI, pp. 606-608). Though the Western missionaries helped the growth of the Indian Church as a whole, they distorted the ecclesial and juridical identity of St. Thomas Christians. The latter protested it under the leadership of the Archdeacon Thomas Parambil and their protest culminated in what is known as the “Coonan Cross Oath” of 1653. This revolt eventually split them first into two groups- one in communion with Rome and the other with the West Syrian Church of Antioch.

In order to pacify the situation and avoid unfortunate division of the Syro-Malabar faithful, Propaganda Fide rule was also introduced on St. Thomas Christians. Thus they were divided among themselves under the two Latin Jurisdictions of Padroado and Propaganda. Unfortunately, the rebel bishops in course of time separated themselves from the Catholic communion. In order to avoid further divisions in the Church, Propaganda Fide appointed Mgr. Joseph Sebastiani OCD as the Vicar Apostolic of Malabar in 1661. Meanwhile, the Dutch captured Cochin and asked Mgr. Sebastiani to leave India. In that situation Fr. Chandy Parambil, a native priest, was ordained bishop and appointed Vicar Apostolic of Malabar. Later, due to the confusion that arose in the Church subsequent to the death of Bishop Chandy, as per the agreement between the Apostolic See and the Dutch, the Propagande Fide, Rome appointed in 1770 an Italian Carmelite as the Vicar Apostolic of Malabar and he resided at Varapuzha. At the same time there were also Archbishops or administrators appointed by the Portuguese Padroado and they resided at Kodungalloor. Thus St. Thomas Christians came under two jurisdictions: Propaganda Fide and Padroado. Gradually the grievances of St. Thomas Christians reached such a stage that a delegation consisting of Fr. Joseph Kariyattil and Fr. Thomas Paremmakkal was sent to Rome and Portugal. In 1782 Fr. Kariyattil was ordained in Lisbon as the Archbishop of Kodungalloor. Unfortunately, on the way back to India he died in Goa in 1786. In that

situation Fr. Thomas Paremmakkal was made Governador (administrator) of Kodungalloor.

Gradually the St. Thomas Christians who continued under the Latin rule assumed the form of the present Syro-Malabar Church. Those who were opposing the Portuguese later came into contact with the Jacobite Patriarch in Syria and thus became Jacobites. A fraction of these Jacobites was reunited with the Catholic communion in 1930 under the leadership of the Servant of God Mar Ivanios and is now known as the Syro-Malankara Church.

In 1865 the jurisdiction of the East Syrian Patriarch over St. Thomas Christians was formally terminated by the Apostolic See. In 1886 the Metropolitan See of Crangannore was suppressed and St. Thomas Christians were put under Verapoly which was then raised to the status of an Archdiocese with the establishment of the Latin Hierarchy in India under the Propaganda Fide. The title of 'Metropolitan of Crangannore' was given ad honorem to the Bishop of Damao. When the See of Damao was joined to that of Goa the Goan Archbishop began to carry also the honorary title of Crangannore.

thAfter 230 years of Latin rule, on 20 May 1887, Pope Leo XIIIth of happy memory by the bull Quod iam pridem decreed the separation of St. Thomas Christians from the Latins and erected two Vicariates apostolic- Trichur and Kottayam- with two Latin vicars apostolic Bishops Adolf Medlicott and Charles Lavigne. These Catholic St. Thomas Christians began to be called from then onwards as “the

thSyro-Malabar Church”. On 28 July 1896, the same Pope by the bull Quae rei sacrae reorganized the two vicariates into three vicariates of Trichur, Ernakulam and Changanassery with three native vicars apostolic John Menachery, Louis Pazheparambil and Mathew Makkil respectively. In 1911 Pope Pius X erected a fourth vicariate Kottayam

stfor the suddists. On 21 December 1923, Pope Pius XI, by the epoch making Constitution Romani Pontifices restored the Syro-Malabar Hierarchy in the model of a Latin Metropolitan province, Ernakulam being the Archeparchy and other three as its suffragan eparchies. Thus

When the See of Damao was joined to that of Goa the Goan Archbishop began to carry also the honorary title of Crangannore.

thAfter 230 years of Latin rule, on 20 May 1887, Pope Leo XIIIth of happy memory by the bull Quod iam pridem decreed the separation of St. Thomas Christians from the Latins and erected two Vicariates apostolic- Trichur and Kottayam- with two Latin vicars apostolic Bishops Adolf Medlicott and Charles Lavigne. These Catholic St. Thomas Christians began to be called from then onwards as “the

thSyro-Malabar Church”. On 28 July 1896, the same Pope by the bull Quae rei sacrae reorganized the two vicariates into three vicariates of Trichur, Ernakulam and Changanassery with three native vicars apostolic John Menachery, Louis Pazheparambil and Mathew Makkil respectively. In 1911 Pope Pius X erected a fourth vicariate Kottayam

stfor the suddists. On 21 December 1923, Pope Pius XI, by the epoch making Constitution Romani Pontifices restored the Syro-Malabar Hierarchy in the model of a Latin Metropolitan province, Ernakulam being the Archeparchy and other three as its suffragan eparchies. Thus

the hierarchical rule of St. Thomas Christians was restored to some extent.

thBy the middle of the 20 century there were lot of migrations from the Southern as well as Central part of Kerala to Northern Kerala, to the Southern parts of Karnataka and the South Western parts of Tamilnadu. Therefore, the need of establishing new eparchies outside the previously permitted territory became unavoidable. In 1953 the eparchy of Tellicherry was erected including some districts in Karnataka and Tamilnadu also, apart from the Malabar area of Kerala. 1n 1955 the proper territory of the Syro-Malabar Church was extended to some districts in Tamilnadu and Karnataka. In 1956 the eparchy of Changanacherry was also raised to the status of a Metropolitan Archeparchy. Thus by this time the number of the Syro-Malabar eparchies had increased to seven.

As the population increased in the eparchies of Trichur, Changanacherry, Ernakulam and Tellichery, their bifurcation was found very essential. Thus eventually, the eparchies of Palai, Kothamangalam, Manathavady, Palakkad, Kanjirappilly, Irinjalakuda, Thamarassery and Thucklay were established.

It was in 1962 that the Syro-Malabar Church got opportunity to open its own mission territory with the erection of the exarchy of Chanda. Later it was raised to the status of an eparchy. In the similar way, seven more Syro-Malabar Mission eparchies-Bijnor, Rajkot, Jagadalpur, Sagar, Satna, Ujjain, Gorakhpur and Adilabad- were erected. In the light of the teachings of Vatican II that the faithful have the right to practice and preserve their own liturgy wherever they are, the eparchy of Kalyan was established in 1988 for the Syro-Malabar migrants in Mumbai, Pune and Nasik.

In the similar way the number of the Institutes of the Consecrated Life and the Societies of the Apostolic Life also increased. At present there are more than 40 such congregations for men and about 130 for women. In spite of the fact that most of them are of the Latin origin being founded in the European countries, all of them by the grace of

God seem to have been well-rooted in the Syro-Malabar Church.

The Syro-Malabar church had only twelve eparchies inside Kerala under two Metropolitan provinces of Ernakulam and Changanachery and nine eparchies outside Kerala when CCEO was promulgated in 1990 by Pope St. John Paul. At that time, the Syro- Malabar Church was in such an anomalous situation that it could not be included in any of the four categories of the Churches sui iuris envisaged by CCEO (cf. cc. 55-176). In this situation, taking into consideration the age old traditions and the growth of this apostolic Church and as part of the rectification of the anomaly referred above, the same Pope with the

thconstitution Quae maiori dated 16 December 1992 raised the Syro-Malabar Church to the status of a Major Archiepiscopal sui iuris Church with the title of Ernakulam-Angamaly, limiting the proper territory to the territories of the two existing metropolitan provinces of Ernakulam and Changanachery. The Metropolitan of Ernakulam Mar Antony Cardinal Padiyara was appointed the first Major Archbishop. However, the powers of the Major Archbishop were vested temporarily on the Pontifical delegate in the person of Mar Abraham Kattumana. The installation of the Major Archbishop and the inauguration of the first Synod of Bishops was held at Ernakulam

thon 20 May 1993. With the sudden demise of the Pontifical delegate Mar Abraham Kattumana in 1995 the powers proper to the major archbishop were given to Major Archbishop Mar Antony Cardinal Padiyara.

In 1995 the Eparchies of Trichur and Tellicherry were elevated to the status of the Metropolitan Archeparchies. The eparchies of Palghat and Irinjalakuda were the suffragan eparchies of Trichur while the eparchies of Mananthavady and Thamarassery were the suffragan eparchies of Tellicherry. Bishops Joseph Kundukulam and George Valiamattam were promoted respectively to be their Metropolitan Archbishops.

With the resignation of the Major Archbishop Mar Antony Cardinal Padiyara in 1996, Mar Varkey Vithayathil CSsR was appointed the

Apostolic Administrator of the Syro-Malabar Church and of the Archeparchy of Ernakulam-Angamaly in the same year. He took

thcharge of the office on 18 January 1997. In November 1999 the first Major Archiepiscopal Assembly took place at Mount St. Thomas.

thMar Varkey Vithayathil became the second Major Archbishop on 18 thDecember 1999 and took charge of the office on 26 January 2000.

Through the bifurcation of the Archeparchy of Tellichery, a new eparchy of Belthangady was erected in 1999. The erection of St. Thomas eparchy of Chicago in February 2001 was a mile stone and remarkable event in the history of the Syro-Malabar Church. Similarly, the new eparchy of Idukki was formed in January 2003, bifurcating the eparchy of Kothamangalam. Meanwhile, in January 2004 Pope St. John Paul granted the Syro-Malabar Church the full autonomy in jurisdiction as per the norms of CCEO. The faculty included also the authority given to the Synod of Bishops for appointing bishops and creating eparchies in the proper territory.

Later, by bifurcating the eparchy of Mananthavady the eparchy of Bhadravathi in Karnataka was established in 2007. The other two

theparchies of Ramanathapuram and Mandya were erected on 18 January 2010 by bifurcating the eparchies of Palghat and Mananthavady respectively. In the same way, the eparchies of Faridabad (2012) and Melbourne (Australia) (2014) were erected. Thus, at present, the Syro-Malabar Church is having 17 eparchies inside its proper territory under four Metropolitan Sees and the Archeparchy of Kottayam and thirteen eparchies outside the proper territory, including those in USA and Australia, with 04 million Syro-Malabar Catholics.

The second Major Archbishop of the Church Mar Varkey Cardinal stVithayathil slept in the Lord on the 01 of April 2011 and was buried at

thSt. Mary's Basilica, Ernakulam on the 10 April 2011. As per the law stMar Bosco Puthur, the Curia bishop took charge on the 01 of April

2011 as the ex-officio administrator of the Syro-Malabar Church and

of the Archeparchy of Ernakulam-Angamaly. In the Synod held at rd thMount St. Thomas, Kakkanad from 23 to 27 May 2011 Mar George

Alanchery, the Bishop of Thucklay was elected the third Major Archbishop of the Church (the first elected Major Archbishop in the history of the Syro-Malabar Church). He took canonical possession

thof the new office on 29 May 2011 at St. Mary's Basilica, Ernakulam.

Thus the Syro-Malabar Church is the apostolic, Indian, Catholic and eastern (Major Archiepiscopal sui iuris) Church of St. Thomas Christians. Syro-Malabar Church could also be qualified in this way: It is Christian in faith, oriental in worship and Indian in culture.

G. METROPOLITAN PROVINCE OF TRICHUR

1. Historical Sketch

St. Thomas the Apostle according to the Indian tradition landed at Kodungalloor (Cranganore), the capital of the then Chera Empire in the year 52 A.D. Persians, Greeks and Romans found Kodungalloor as an important centre for their trade.

St. Thomas preached the Gospel wherever he went, and founded churches in the places, including Palayur of this Archeparchy. The apostolate of St. Thomas was fruitful among the people of Kerala. According to the Malabar tradition, seven Christian communities were established by him in seven different places before he was martyred in 72 A.D. His body was brought to Mylapore and buried in a holy Shrine.

From the 4th century onwards St. Thomas Christians established relationship with the Church of Persia. Bishops who came to India

from that Church also had their residence at Kodungalloor while they held the title of the “Metropolitan and Gate of all India”. The 'Metropolitan' changed his residence from Kodungalloor to Angamaly in the 16th century due to certain political reasons. After the death of Mar Abraham in 1577 St. Thomas Christians were subjected to the Latin Bishops from 1599 and continued to be so until 1887.

H.H. Pope Leo XIII of illustrious memory, by the epoch- making bull Quod jam pridem of May 20, 1887, separated the Syrian Catholics of Malabar from the Jurisdictions of Padroado as well as the Vicariate of Verapoly and erected for them two Apostolic Vicariates of Trichur and Kottayam. The Vicariate of Trichur had within its territory two of the most ancient christian centres, i.e., Kodungalloor and Palayoor, the former being the cradle of Christianity in India. Mgr. Adolphus Edwin Medlycott was the first Vicar Apostolic of Trichur.

Nine Years later, by the Brief Quae rei sacrae of July 28, 1896 the same Holy Father reorganised the two Vicariates into three: Trichur, Ernakulam and Changanasserry with Indians of the Syro-Malabar rite as their Vicars Apostolic. Accordingly, Mar John Menacherry became the first native Vicar Apostolic of Trichur.

The rapid and remarkable progress that the Syrian Catholics made under the Indian bishops in the course of a few years was highly appreciated by the Apostolic See and as a result, on 21st December 1923 by the bull Romani Pontifices of Pope Pius XI, the Syro-Malabar Hierarchy was established, raising Ernakulam to the status of a Metropolitan See and having Trichur, Changanasserry and Kottayam as its suffragan Eparchies. Mar Francis Vazhappilly was the first Bishop of Trichur.

In 1887, the Vicariate of Trichur was bounded on the East by the Western Ghats, on the south by the Periyar (Aluva), on the West by the Arabian Sea and on the North by the river Bharatha. When by Quae rei sacrae of July 28, 1896 the three Syrian Vicariates were erected, the river Chalakudy was made southern boundary of the vicariate of

Trichur.

Pope Pius XII, by the bull Saepe fidelis of April 29, 1955 extended the jurisdiction of the bishop of Trichur to the Civil district of Coimbatore. On June 20, 1974, Pope Paul VI by the Apostolic bull Apostolico requirente bifurcated the Eparchy of Trichur and erected the Eparchy of Palghat adding into the territory of the new eparchy a few parishes from the then eparchy of Tellichery, which were in the district of Palghat. Thus the new eparchy of Palghat consisted of the whole civil districts of Palakkad and Coimbatore. Mar Joseph Irimpan who was the Vicar General of the then eparchy of Trichur was appointed its first bishop. Again on June 22, 1978, Pope Paul VI separated the entire taluk of Kodungalloor, greater part of Mukundapuram and small portions of Paravoor and Aluva to the north of the river Chalakudy from the Eparchy of Trichur and erected the Eparchy of Irinjalakuda by the Apostolic bull Trichuriensis Eparchiae.Thus this eparchy consists of the southern part of the then eparchy of Trichur, i.e., from the Karuvannoor river and the Kurumaly river on the North to Chalakudy river on the South. Mar James Pazhayattil, a priest of the eparchy of Trichur was appointed its first bishop.

Pope John Paul II inaugurated the centenary celebrations of the Vicariate apostolic of Trichur on 7th February, 1986 at “St. Thomas Nagar”, Trichur on the occasion of his first historic visit to India, in the presence of about one million people. On 20th May, 1987 the centenary was celebrated. The concluding functions on 9th August 1987 were presided over by His Eminence Simon Cardinal Lourdusamy, the then Prefect of the Congregation for the Eastern Churches.

The long awaited expectation of the faithful of the Eparchy of Trichur was fulfilled on 18th May 1995 when the Pope John Paul II raised the Eparchy to the Metropolitan status and the Eparchies of Irinjalakuda and Palakkad as its suffragans and Bishop Mar Joseph Kundukulam as its first Metropolitan Archbishop.

The 'Metropolitan' changed his residence from Kodungalloor to Angamaly in the 16th century due to certain political reasons. After the death of Mar Abraham in 1577 St. Thomas Christians were subjected to the Latin Bishops from 1599 and continued to be so until 1887.

H.H. Pope Leo XIII of illustrious memory, by the epoch- making bull Quod jam pridem of May 20, 1887, separated the Syrian Catholics of Malabar from the Jurisdictions of Padroado as well as the Vicariate of Verapoly and erected for them two Apostolic Vicariates of Trichur and Kottayam. The Vicariate of Trichur had within its territory two of the most ancient christian centres, i.e., Kodungalloor and Palayoor, the former being the cradle of Christianity in India. Mgr. Adolphus Edwin Medlycott was the first Vicar Apostolic of Trichur.

Nine Years later, by the Brief Quae rei sacrae of July 28, 1896 the same Holy Father reorganised the two Vicariates into three: Trichur, Ernakulam and Changanasserry with Indians of the Syro-Malabar rite as their Vicars Apostolic. Accordingly, Mar John Menacherry became the first native Vicar Apostolic of Trichur.

The rapid and remarkable progress that the Syrian Catholics made under the Indian bishops in the course of a few years was highly appreciated by the Apostolic See and as a result, on 21st December 1923 by the bull Romani Pontifices of Pope Pius XI, the Syro-Malabar Hierarchy was established, raising Ernakulam to the status of a Metropolitan See and having Trichur, Changanasserry and Kottayam as its suffragan Eparchies. Mar Francis Vazhappilly was the first Bishop of Trichur.

In 1887, the Vicariate of Trichur was bounded on the East by the Western Ghats, on the south by the Periyar (Aluva), on the West by the Arabian Sea and on the North by the river Bharatha. When by Quae rei sacrae of July 28, 1896 the three Syrian Vicariates were erected, the river Chalakudy was made southern boundary of the vicariate of

Trichur.

Pope Pius XII, by the bull Saepe fidelis of April 29, 1955 extended the jurisdiction of the bishop of Trichur to the Civil district of Coimbatore. On June 20, 1974, Pope Paul VI by the Apostolic bull Apostolico requirente bifurcated the Eparchy of Trichur and erected the Eparchy of Palghat adding into the territory of the new eparchy a few parishes from the then eparchy of Tellichery, which were in the district of Palghat. Thus the new eparchy of Palghat consisted of the whole civil districts of Palakkad and Coimbatore. Mar Joseph Irimpan who was the Vicar General of the then eparchy of Trichur was appointed its first bishop. Again on June 22, 1978, Pope Paul VI separated the entire taluk of Kodungalloor, greater part of Mukundapuram and small portions of Paravoor and Aluva to the north of the river Chalakudy from the Eparchy of Trichur and erected the Eparchy of Irinjalakuda by the Apostolic bull Trichuriensis Eparchiae.Thus this eparchy consists of the southern part of the then eparchy of Trichur, i.e., from the Karuvannoor river and the Kurumaly river on the North to Chalakudy river on the South. Mar James Pazhayattil, a priest of the eparchy of Trichur was appointed its first bishop.

Pope John Paul II inaugurated the centenary celebrations of the Vicariate apostolic of Trichur on 7th February, 1986 at “St. Thomas Nagar”, Trichur on the occasion of his first historic visit to India, in the presence of about one million people. On 20th May, 1987 the centenary was celebrated. The concluding functions on 9th August 1987 were presided over by His Eminence Simon Cardinal Lourdusamy, the then Prefect of the Congregation for the Eastern Churches.

The long awaited expectation of the faithful of the Eparchy of Trichur was fulfilled on 18th May 1995 when the Pope John Paul II raised the Eparchy to the Metropolitan status and the Eparchies of Irinjalakuda and Palakkad as its suffragans and Bishop Mar Joseph Kundukulam as its first Metropolitan Archbishop.

thwas erected on 18 January 2010. It consists of the civil districts of Coimbatore, Tiruppur, Erode and Karur in Tamilnadu. Fr. Paul Alappatt from the Archeparchy of Trichur was nominated its first

thbishop and he took charge of the eparchy on 11 April 2010, the same day of his Episcopal ordination.

H. THE EPARCHY OF RAMANATHAPURAM

a. Historical Sketch

The Syrian Catholics, mostly the Syro-Malabar Catholics, from various parts of Kerala had started migrating to different areas of

thTamilnadu years back, i.e., in the first half of the 20 century, for the purpose of job, business etc. The Syrian Catholics who thus came in the beginning were going to the churches of the Latin Rite for fulfilling their spiritual needs. But as the territory of the undivided

theparchy of Trichur was extended on 29 April 1955 with the decree Saepe fidelis to the areas of Tamilnadu, co extensive with those of the diocese of Coimbatore they got opportunity to get their spiritual needs fulfilled according totheir own Mother rite. It was the late Mgr. Zacharias Vazhappilly, the Vicar General of the eparchy of Trichur at that time, who was appointed to coordinate the pastoral care for the

theparchy of Trichur was extended on 29 April 1955 with the decree Saepe fidelis to the areas of Tamilnadu, co extensive with those of the diocese of Coimbatore they got opportunity to get their spiritual needs fulfilled according totheir own Mother rite. It was the late Mgr. Zacharias Vazhappilly, the Vicar General of the eparchy of Trichur at that time, who was appointed to coordinate the pastoral care for the

70 71

Page 72: EPARCHY OF RAMANATHAPURAM · Common Centres of CBCI 20 e. Various Commissions, ... The Erection of the New Eparchy of Ramanathapuram 72 d. The New Eparchy 74 e. Bishop Paul Alappatt

Syro-Malabar migrants in this area. Under the leadership of Mgr. Zacharias a team of priests and religious who were zealous, dedicated and hardworking continued their pastoral care.

Eventually the number of migrants increased and it led to the arrangement of more infra-structures as the part of the pastoral coordination. In that way, the first Forane in this area, i.e., Coimbatore Forane was formed centralizing Ramanathapuram, in the Month of November 1973. That forane comprised of all the parishes and stations in the extended area of Tamilnadu of the eparchy of Trichur. It was a milestone in the history of the pastoral care of the Syro Malabar migrants and the erection of the epachy of Palghat.

b. The Erection of the Eparchy of Palghat:thThe Eparchy of Palghat which was erected on 20 June 1974 with the

decree from the Apostolic See Apostolico Requirente and inaugurated thon 08 September 1974, bifurcating the then existing Eparchy of

Trichur and adding some parishes from the then eparchy of Tellicherry, had the total area of 28,515 sq.kms. with 16 parishes, 08 stations, 14 priests and 20,810 faithful in the beginning. It comprised of the civil district of Palakkad in the State of Kerala and the civil district of Coimbatore and a part of the district of Trichy in the State of Tamilnadu. The district of Coimbatore was later divided and the district of Erode was formed. Meanwhile the district of Trichy was also divided and thus the district of Karur was created. The district of Coimbatore was further divided in 2008 and the district of Tiruppur was formed. Thus the Eparchy of Palghat at the time of the erection of the new Eparchy of Ramanathapuram had jurisdiction over the Syro-Malabar faithful spread over the entire district of Palakkad in Kerala and the entire districts Coimbatore, Erode, Karur and Tiruppur in Tamilnadu with 93 parishes, 56 stations, 130 priests and 69,057 faithful.

c. The Erection of the New Eparchy of Ramanathapuram:

i) Geographical, Cultural and Linguistic Differences

Among five, four districts of the Eparchy of Palghat were situated in

Tamilnadu. The area developed enough to be raised into an eparchy. The culture in Tamilnadu is significantly different from that of Kerala. Our people in the district of Palghat are mainly farmers living on the hills and planes of the district. Our people in Tamilnadu live in the cities and towns and are either self-employed or otherwise employed. They live among Tamilians and speak their language, namely, Tamil and work with them. Their children can hardly read or write Malayalam. Through their constant living together and mingling with the local people they slowly appropriate Tamil culture. They began to form therefore a unit of their own in the Eparchy, having their own distinguishing traits.

ii) Pastoral Difficulties

The linguistic and cultural differences created pastoral problems. Transfer of priests from the district of Palghat to those of Tamilnadu was becoming difficult. Some priests did not like to work in Tamilnadu. Those who go to Tamilnadu for pastoral work must learn well Tamil for efficient pastoral work, which cannot be expected from all priests. Similarly there is real difficulty in arranging common programmes for the youth and students of the Eparchy. The main problem is again the language. Moreover the vacation days for schools and colleges in Kerala do not correspond with those in the schools and colleges in Tamilnadu. The people and the priests have also to travel a long distance to attend programmes held at the diocesan head quarters at Palghat. Often they excuse themselves from attending common programmes on the ground of long and hazardous travel. This is especially true in the case of priests. Some of them have to travel two to three or even four hours to reach Palghat. The same amount of time is needed for return. As the programmes are of one day, they do not get enough time for a fruitful participation.

iii) Need of the Student Community

It is also to be noted that there are over 3000 Catholic students studying in various schools and colleges and an equal number of youth working in different institutions in the four districts of Coimbatore, Erode, Karur and Tirupur. They all need pastoral care,

72 73

Page 73: EPARCHY OF RAMANATHAPURAM · Common Centres of CBCI 20 e. Various Commissions, ... The Erection of the New Eparchy of Ramanathapuram 72 d. The New Eparchy 74 e. Bishop Paul Alappatt

Syro-Malabar migrants in this area. Under the leadership of Mgr. Zacharias a team of priests and religious who were zealous, dedicated and hardworking continued their pastoral care.

Eventually the number of migrants increased and it led to the arrangement of more infra-structures as the part of the pastoral coordination.

That forane comprised of all the parishes and stations in the extended area of Tamilnadu of the eparchy of Trichur. It was a milestone in the history of the pastoral care of the Syro Malabar migrants and the erection of the epachy of Palghat.

b. The Erection of the Eparchy of Palghat:thThe Eparchy of Palghat which was erected on 20 June 1974 with the

decree from the Apostolic See Apostolico Requirente and inaugurated thon 08 September 1974, bifurcating the then existing Eparchy of

Trichur and adding some parishes from the then eparchy of Tellicherry, had the total area of 28,515 sq.kms. with 16 parishes, 08 stations, 14 priests and 20,810 faithful in the beginning. It comprised of the civil district of Palakkad in the State of Kerala and the civil district of Coimbatore and a part of the district of Trichy in the State of Tamilnadu. The district of Coimbatore was later divided and the district of Erode was formed. Meanwhile the district of Trichy was also divided and thus the district of Karur was created. The district of Coimbatore was further divided in 2008 and the district of Tiruppur was formed. Thus the Eparchy of Palghat at the time of the erection of the new Eparchy of Ramanathapuram had jurisdiction over the Syro-Malabar faithful spread over the entire district of Palakkad in Kerala and the entire districts Coimbatore, Erode, Karur and Tiruppur in Tamilnadu with 93 parishes, 56 stations, 130 priests and 69,057 faithful.

c. The Erection of the New Eparchy of Ramanathapuram:

i) Geographical, Cultural and Linguistic Differences

Among five, four districts of the Eparchy of Palghat were situated in

Tamilnadu. The area developed enough to be raised into an eparchy. The culture in Tamilnadu is significantly different from that of Kerala. Our people in the district of Palghat are mainly farmers living on the hills and planes of the district. Our people in Tamilnadu live in the cities and towns and are either self-employed or otherwise employed. They live among Tamilians and speak their language, namely, Tamil and work with them. Their children can hardly read or write Malayalam. Through their constant living together and mingling with the local people they slowly appropriate Tamil culture.

ii) Pastoral Difficulties

The linguistic and cultural differences created pastoral problems. Transfer of priests from the district of Palghat to those of Tamilnadu was becoming difficult. Some priests did not like to work in Tamilnadu. Those who go to Tamilnadu for pastoral work must learn well Tamil for efficient pastoral work, which cannot be expected from all priests. Similarly there is real difficulty in arranging common programmes for the youth and students of the Eparchy. The main problem is again the language. Moreover the vacation days for schools and colleges in Kerala do not correspond with those in the schools and colleges in Tamilnadu. The people and the priests have also to travel a long distance to attend programmes held at the diocesan head quarters at Palghat.

As the programmes are of one day, they do not get enough time for a fruitful participation.

iii) Need of the Student Community

It is also to be noted that there are over 3000 Catholic students studying in various schools and colleges and an equal number of youth working in different institutions in the four districts of Coimbatore, Erode, Karur and Tirupur. They all need pastoral care,

72 73

Page 74: EPARCHY OF RAMANATHAPURAM · Common Centres of CBCI 20 e. Various Commissions, ... The Erection of the New Eparchy of Ramanathapuram 72 d. The New Eparchy 74 e. Bishop Paul Alappatt

lest they should lose their faith and morality. The erection of a new eparchy at the earliest possible was found out to be the most fitting solution in this matter.

iv) Lack of Local Vocations

There are only six priests and a few sisters from the area now working in the eparchy. There are at present only two candidates for priesthood from that area who are studying in the Seminary. The religious congregations have much less candidates from the area. Candidates are to be recruited from that area itself and they need to be given formation in the Seminary situated in the area. If a new eparchy is erected this problem can be effectively attended to. The local clergy can take better pastoral care of the people of the area than others.

v) Urgency of the Need

The area under consideration being industrial has been fast developing. Unless the people were given effective and timely pastoral care they would drift away from faith and become indifferent, sign of which has been very conspicuous. The 3000 strong student community of our Church needed to be taken special care of. The pastoral care needed to be given to the people taking into account their life situation and that of the students.

vi) The request of the Clergy and Laity

Very often the clergy and laity in the area of Coimbatore used to request the bishops about the need of the erection of an eparchy in the area. Immediate step was taken in this regard, following the resolution passed in February 2008 by the representatives of the clergy and the laity of the parishes in Tamilnadu with the request to expedite eventual erection of an eparchy in the area.

vii.The Formation of Coimbatore Region

As the craving for a new Eparchy became stronger H.E. Mar Jacob Manathodath, the Bishop of the undivided Eparchy of Palghat bifurcated Coimbatore Forane into three: Ramanathapuram, Gandhipuram and Erode and formed a region called Coimbatore including these three foranes and appointing Mgr. George Narikuzhi

as syncellus in charge of this region. This arrangement was made by His Excellency with a view to the eventual erection of new eparchy for the region.

d. The New Eparchy:

In the light of the application of His Excellency Mar Jacob Manathodath, the Bishop of Palghat, the XVIth Synod of Bishops of the Syro-Malabar Church held at Mount St. Thomas, Kakkanad in August 2008, after having considered the great distance from the eparchial headquarters at Palghat and the geographical, linguistic and cultural differences of the faithful in both areas, unanimously gave its approval for the erection of the eparchy of Ramanathapuram. Thus, after due consultation in the Synod of Bishops and having obtained its consent and the assent of the Apostolic See, and having fulfilled

theverything required by law, as per the decree of 18 January 2010 with Prot. No 57/2010, His Beatitude Mar Varkey Cardinal Vithayathil, the Major Archbishop of the Syro-Malabar Church, by virtue of the authority vested in him and in accordance with CCEO c. 85#1, erected the Eparchy of Ramanathapuram, bifurcating the eparchy of Palghat. Thus the new eparchy has its territory comprising the four civil districts of Tamil Nadu namely, Coimbatore, Erode, Karur and Tirupur and its See in the City of Ramanathapuram in the civil district of Coimbatore. Fr. Paul Alappatt, a priest from the Archeparchy of Trichur was appointed as its first Bishop the same day (Prot. 58/2010). He was ordained bishop by His Grace Mar Andrews Thazhath, the Metropolitan Archbishop of Trichur, on the White

thSunday, the 11 April 2010 at Ramanathapuram (Alvernia school ground). His Grace Mar Jacob Thoomkuzhy, Archbishop emeritus of Trichur and His Excellency Mar Jacob Manathodath, Bishop of Palghat were the co-consecrators in the Ordination ceremony. The eparchy was inaugurated the same day. About 12,000 faithful including bishops, civil dignitaries, priests, religious and laity were present on the occasion.

lest they should lose their faith and morality. The erection of a new eparchy at the earliest possible was found out to be the most fitting solution in this matter.

iv) Lack of Local Vocations

There are only six priests and a few sisters from the area now working in the eparchy. There are at present only two candidates for priesthood from that area who are studying in the Seminary. The religious congregations have much less candidates from the area. Candidates are to be recruited from that area itself and they need to be given formation in the Seminary situated in the area. If a new eparchy is erected this problem can be effectively attended to. The local clergy can take better pastoral care of the people of the area than others.

v) Urgency of the Need

The area under consideration being industrial has been fast developing. Unless the people were given effective and timely pastoral care they would drift away from faith and become indifferent, sign of which has been very conspicuous. The 3000 strong student community of our Church needed to be taken special care of. The pastoral care needed to be given to the people taking into account their life situation and that of the students.

vi) The request of the Clergy and Laity

Very often the clergy and laity in the area of Coimbatore used to request the bishops about the need of the erection of an eparchy in the area. Immediate step was taken in this regard, following the resolution passed in February 2008 by the representatives of the clergy and the laity of the parishes in Tamilnadu with the request to expedite eventual erection of an eparchy in the area.
