IOC ATTACKS BELIEVERS IN PIRAVOM

PIRAVOM: Today IOC goondas staged an attack in the church compound. 4 of our believers got injured and admitted in the Lakeshore Hospital Ernakulam with head injuries.

19-10-2009 is the first anniversary of the Great IOC ian work of destroying the Holy Kurisadi at Piravom IOC want to celebrate that!!!. They published a notice justifying the satanic act and glorifying the entry of their Catholica to the destroyed Kurisadi. When they tried to distribute that notice in the church, church members blocked that. The IOC Goons of Piravom led by Fr. Joseph Mankidi are very much worried now a days as they lost the case of Nechoor Church. (Of cource the mammon power of IOC is again playing / trying dirty tricks with the judiciary). All the 20 Family units in the Piravom Valiya Palli is performing very well. They conducted the annual competition and celebration in the Church on 17-10-2009. ON seeing this unity and to prevent the spiritual rise, frustrated Mankidi planned the attack. They are now targetting the family unit co-ordinator Fr. Varghese Panachiyil. Because the family units are acting as Gods Instrument in foiling the wicked plans of IOC.

On 18-10-2009 by 17.30 four people of IOC, Thekkumootil Sunny, Siren Babu, Thekkumootil Babu, Moolakkuzhi Johny (the Known IOC goondas of Piravom) came to our church. Before that Siren Babu observed the church and made sure that no KEFA members are inside the church compound and Fr. Panachiyil is inside the church. After the Bible class Fr. Varghese was talking with diocean member, Sri Baby Thachamattom and Sri Kunnath Georje an active member of the Church. With abusing words they reached Fr. and Siren Babu tried to beat him. When Baby thachamattom prevented that they kicked him off and began to beat Sri Georje. By this time somebody Phoned Georjes house which is near by His son Jijin and KEFAS unit president Anson reached the spot immediately. They tried to prevent the attack on Fr. Panachilyil and got head injuries. I saw ANSON and Jijin in the Piravom hospital with full of Blood. Later in the night they were shifted to Lakshore Hospital. Today on the first anniverary of satanic show by IOC (destroying the Kurisadi) we are planning for a Prarthana Yanjam in front of the Kurisadi. As expected Todays Manorama Reported that SOC attacked IOC members who went to the cemetery of Piravom church for prayer!!!!

Please pray for the youths and Pray for Godly intervention to eliminate Satan and his agents from Piravom.

Fr. Eldhose Kavungumpillil has been expelled and stripped off from the Holy Priesthood and  excommunicated from the Universal Syrian Orthodox church

                        H.H The Patriarch Moran Mor Ignatius Zakka I Iwas issued Bull to Fr. Eldhose Kavungumpillil     

Read H.H Patriarch Ignatius Zakka  I's Kalpana

Read H.B Catholicose Dr. Baselios Thomas I's Kalpana

"We have learned that Mr. Eldhose Kavungumpillil who has been ex-communicated and stripped off from holy priesthood by the Patriarch is continuing to function as a 'priest' in UK even after the ex-communication. The Holy Father has made it clear that whatever he does after the ex-communication would be deemed null and void and he and those who associate with him would therefore be accursed. We invite our readers to read all these bulls which will give you some indication about Eldhose's past history of indiscipline and arrogance and how he was being dealt with over the years. He is probably the only one in our history whom the Holy Father had to take disciplinary action more than once. He is now trying to make it as as issue between Mor Coorilos thirumeni and him which is not the case. Even during the time of Mor Gregorios Joseph Metropolitan, he had been involved in such arrogant and undisciplined activities. From Mor Gregorios' Bull (posted here) of suspending Eldhose, you would know that he had the audacity to prevent a thirumeni (Mor Gregorios Joseph) from entering a church in London and even to threaten thirumeni with police action!!! Our Church leadership has made it clear that the chapter on Eldhose koungumpillil is now closed and will not be re-opened. You may have noticed that he is now trying to confuse our faithful in the UK by publishing unfounded and baseless news in the media. You may have also noticed that it is the websites (eg. MOTV) and fora of the dissident "methran kakshi" people that are now enthusiastically supporting Eldhose and his dissident group and exploiting the situation. This further proves that Eldhose and his group have been constantly associating with the "methran kakshi" people in the UK for a long time. We have also learned that a holy bull by His Beatitude informing our churches in Malankara about Eldhose's ex-communication will be read soon. Let us continue to pray for the repentance of Eldhose Koungumpillil".

THE NAME OF ST. ATHANASIUS PAULOSE INCLUDED

IN THE HOLY DIPTYCH

Apostolic Bull dt. Sep 18, 2009             Press Release from Puthencuriz

Biography of Valiya Thirumeni

St. Ephrem Monastery, SYRIA:  Moran Mor Ignatius Zakka I Iwas, the Patriarch of Antioch & All the East and the Supreme head of the Universal Syriac Orthodox Church, has signed the historic bull permitting to recite the name of ST. ATHANASIUS PAULOSE, the former Malankara Metropolitan & the head of the Malankara Jacobite Syrian Church in the 5th Tubden. The concerned bull No.152/2009 will be read in all Malankara churches soon. The name of Mor Athanasius Paulose will be remembered in all the Jacobite Syrian churches worldwide after the names of St. Gregorios Abdul Jaleel  and St. Osthatheos Sleeba.

St. Athanasius Paulose, an ardent disciple of St. Gregorios Geevarghese of Parumala, is the second Indian after St. Gregorios whose name will be recited universally in the Holy Mass. (It was way back in 1987 the name of St. Gregorios of Parumala was included in the 5th Tubden to be remembered worldwide along with the names of Patriarch St. Ignatius Elias III and Maphriono St. Baselios Yeldho, which was incidentally the first addition after more than 12 centuries in the history of the Malankara Syrian Church.)

For the Malankara Syrian Church and its faithful this is a joyful and pride moment particularly in this centenary year of the Metropolitan-consecration of the holy father.
