Petition to stay uniform mode of Mass

Ernakulam sessions court to consider plea on November 22
The Ernakulam sessions court on November 22 will consider a petition seeking to stay the introduction of uniform mode of celebration of the holy Mass in the Ernakulam-Angamaly archdiocese of the Syro-Malabar Church.
The petitioners, the Archdiocesan Movement for Transparency, have challenged the decision that the “celebrant shall face the faithful at the Bema during the Liturgy of the Word, turn towards the altar — in the same direction that the faithful are facing — for the Liturgy of the Eucharist, and once again face the faithful during the conducting of rites after holy communion”. The new practice is to come into effect on November 28.
A section of the faithful from the Thamarassery and Thrissur dioceses have also approached court with a similar prayer.
