Petitioners say invitation for Patriarch mandatory
A writ petition was filed by two parishioners of St. Mary's Syrian Orthodox Church, Piravom, on Tuesday challenging the consecration of Catholicos scheduled at Parumala on October 15.
The petitioners K.A. John and another person alleged that the consecration of Catholicos was going to be held without canonically inviting the Patriarch of Antioch. They contended that canonical invitation for the Patriarch for the consecration was a mandatory condition. The decision of the Synod of Malanakara Orthodox Syrian Church to consecrate Catholicos was against the 1934 constitution of the Malankara church and orders of the Supreme Court.
