Congregation-facing Mass supporters to observe Cardinal Parekkattil remembrance day
The community of priests of the Syro-Malabar Major Archdiocese of Ernakulam-Angamaly, who have stood staunchly for a fully congregation-facing Mass celebration do not expect Rome to intervene in the matter before November 28, even as the synod of bishops of the Sryo-Malabar Church has issued a diktat on starting the unified Mass celebration throughout the Church from November 28.
At the same time, the priests, religious and lay persons opposed to the synod demand for a uniform Mass celebration have said they would observe November 28 as Cardinal Joseph Parekkttil remembrance day with a Mass. The unified Mass system involves the celebrant (priest) facing the congregation for half the duration and facing away from the congregation for the other half of the Mass.
