See the double standards of "Metran
kakshi".
See
here
When our beloved HH visited his beloved
children in India the said "metran kakashi" gone with a case to
prevent HH from visiting India.
The same said catholicose and team of
"Metran Kakshi" went and begged to offer Holy Mass at St.Mark's Syrian
Orthodox Church at "Sehion Malika" which belongs to Syrian Orthodox
Church under HH Ignatius Sakka Iwas 1st, Patriarch of Antioch and all the
east. Our holy church with a brotherly approach gave permission for them to
offer prayers at St. Mark's Syrian Orthodox church. This is the difference
between our Holy church and the "Devalokam trust". (This happened in 2006) .
Each of the pilgrims approaches one of
three priests at the front of the chapel who offer
absolution and a blessing. Even Archbishop Coorilos of Bombay(Metran Kakshi
bishop) comes forward in all humility to avail himself of this ministry.
If IOC hate "FOREIGN" why they offered
prayer there???? A simple instance showing "Metran Kakshi's"
materialistic thoughts.
Help needed for our brothers of St. George Jacobite Syrian Church
Kovilkadavu,Marayoor to complete their dream of attending Holy mass at newly
built church. This church belongs to high range area of Angamaly diocese.
