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.

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.
Does Mar Osthatheos - 'Sabharathnam'
(?) of "Methran Kakshi" believe and teach that St. Gregorios of

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.

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. |
