FLASH

More Priests & Laymen from the "Metra Kakshis" joined the newly formed "Malankara Orthodox Syrian independent Church". The self styled Mathews Mor Gregorios of this Church, who had himself left Metran Kakshis earlier, converted another Ramban from Metran Kakshi as Bishop by the name Mathews Mor Koorilose and has been given charge of Mavelikkara, Quilon and Trivandrum, fort of "Metran Kakshis".

"Metran kakshi's" are running around with fire on their tail to stop their folks from joining the new church.

It seems that the recent Spiritual 'Raasa' of the "Almaya Vedi" members to the new church's Headquarters in Amayannoor and the 'Nadavili' they performed there has had no effect on the New Church's activities.

You shall reap what you sow.

 

Is Mar Osthatheos of "Metran Kakshi"  a true Orthodox ?

In his recent letter to the Editor of a leading Newspaper, Mor Osthatheos, senior Bishop of the Metran Kakshis, had claimed that because the Jacobite Syrian Orthodox Church follows the Supremacy of St. Peter, we are not Orthodox because it is a Roman Catholic teaching.

The reply to the same has already been given by us through this medium.By his logic, if someone follows something close to what the Roman Church also follows, they cannot be Orthodox. Now let us see how this logic is applicable to him. Given below is a photograph in which he himself is the main character.

See this

The above image is self explanatory. It is the photograph of the installation of the "Idol" of St. Mary in front of the H. Madbaho of Nirannam Church.

KANNUR: Construction of St. Mary's JSO Church is progressing at Vanchiyam, Kannur. This is a small parish of Kozhikode Diocese with close to 15 families who were migrated to this part of Kerala about 25 years ago. Now the Holy Communion and other church related activities are being conducted in a small shed build by a person from Kottayam, which is consecrated as a church. Since the present church building is too old and in poor condition, the members of this parish started constructing a new church with the help of nearby parishes.

We request our readers to help our Brothers & Sisters at Vanchiyam to complete the construction of new church to fulfill their dream of praying in a better church.

Until last week, "Metran Kakshi's" stand was that Jacobites should build their own churches. Now, see what happened when Jacobites tried to build a new church? They know the truth that once our churches comes up in Southern districts, their exaggerated numbers will come down again.

Do Metran Kakshis mean what they claim ?



The modern day " Aryabhata " who has brought out a new revolution in the art of counting fatefully also happens to be the Secretary of the "Metran kakshi" church. This great mathematical genius has mastered a new art of counting in which any number of zeros can be added to the actual figure as and when the situation demands to justify the equations claimed. He has a history of having displayed this art in "Mega/ Maha sammelanams" and television interviews. The literate Kerala got a live performance of this when he claimed in a recent debate on Asianet that "Metran Kakshis" form 50 % in Kothamangalam Cheriyapally and 70 % in Kadamattom. Thankfully, he left out the " 99 % "Metran Kakshis" in Manarcad ".

Please see the Photographs of the 325th Dukhrono of St. Baselios Yeldho Bava, which the "metran kakshis" celebrated in their Catholicate Centre at Kothamangalam to see the 50 % parishioners of Kothamangalam Cheriyapally.

View Photo

Their Catholicate centre at Kothamangalam, which is not very far from the Cheriyapally is named after Mor Baselios. Kothamangalam is a strong fort of the Jacobite church and we have several institutions in and around Kothamangalam named after St. Baselios Yeldho Bava. It is an irony that the very same people object to our building a church in Parumala in the name of St. Gregorios Thirumeni. They have given a set of reasons for their objection and one of the reasons is that we are building a church in the name of St. Gregorios while they have more than 15 institutions in the name of St. Gregorios in Parumala. The same people who are objecting to our building a church in Parumala are trying to enter the Kothamangalam church and creating problems there using a proxy Ramban and his family.

Another example is them building a church in the name of St. Peter's and Paul's in Chalissery within less than 500 meters from our Church which is also in the name of St. Peter and Paul. The very same objections that they raised for us building a church in Parumala is applicable to them in Kothamangalam and Chalissery. But who cares ? Ethics, morals and principles are not applicable to Metran kakshis.

What more can we expect from the members of a church built and sustained on lies and rebellion ?
 

Latest: More people from Parumala contacted authorities of Jacobite Syrian Orthodox Church to complete the construction of new church at Parumala.
