They had hoped that things would go their way and that the faithful will obey silently, giving a clear way to the Syro-Malabar ambitions of extension into northern parts of India, as they are doing in the north eastern parts of the country. This issue has brought an awakening among the otherwise silent folk. Many of the hidden agenda of the Kerala bishops have been made public and hope they will think twice before they undertake any such moves in future.Zach Nedunkanalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10162122443258727742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8554137243501328466.post-12590795283921794432014-10-29T02:15:44.638+05:302014-10-29T02:15:44.638+05:30Unfortunately the Bishop was not very clear.

What they are allowing is a concession without recognizing and respecting the right of the faithful to choose. No body could force a religion or faith on a person. It should be left entirely to his or her choice. If erstwhile Syro Malabar Catholics in Delhi and elsewhere prefer to remain in a Latin parish in their neighborhood, they should not be foced to beg for such a simple wish. Lest the church should encourage and support them which in turn will enhance the image and respect for the church among all.<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04322634298536091008noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8554137243501328466.post-55682609552093236332014-10-28T17:35:29.835+05:302014-10-28T17:35:29.835+05:30"Basically there is no CHOICE for the Catholi..."Basically there is no CHOICE for the Catholics in Delhi to escape from the century old law that son of a syro catholic will be a syro. Please read the joint pastoral letter. The Delhi arch bishop was fooled by the syro the syro archbishop. Or he was ignorent of church rules. If any Catholic bishop or archbishop days that there is no compulsion to join the new SMR diocese he is telling a lie. Read the pastoral letter again. All the sheep of Delhi are in the new diocese already. Bishops should not tell lies white or black.P.C.Josephhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17866312074333378248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8554137243501328466.post-44970282972471241632014-10-28T10:07:42.793+05:302014-10-28T10:07:42.793+05:30There is no Faridabad Archbishop, because Faridaba...There is no Faridabad Archbishop, because Faridabad is just an ordinary diocese, not an arch diocese. Mr Bharanikulangara himself has said that the tile of Archbishop is a personal title given to him by the late Pope (God alone knows on what ground!) and so to use it in connection with the diocese of Faridabad is an extension into void.
