10 St. Paul Unit hnzym-`ymkw sxmgn HISTORY OF SYRO-MALABAR {Kq v CHURCH St. Thomas, one of the Apostles of Christ, after receiving the Holy Spirit at Pentecost, set about with the mission of spreading the Gospel of Resurrection to the whole world. A review of the life of St. Thoms will prove how he fulfilled this great mission in India. According to the Indian tradition, St. Thomas came by sea and landed at Kodungalloor (Cranganore), the capital of the then Chera Empire about the year 52 A. D. He converted high caste Hindu families in Kodungalloor and Palayur (Trichur). From there he went to Coromandal and suffered martyrdom near the Little Mount in Tamilnadu. His body was brought to the town of Mylpore and buried in a holy shrine. Both written and oral traditions gathered from all classes of people in and around Mylapore hold that St. Thomas, whom the inhabitants called the The holy man arrived in Mylapore and lived there for sometime, preached and worked miracles and built a Holy House which was called by the natives. The House of the Holy Man and after his death, he was buried in that house. The Holy Man preached the Gospel wherever he went, and founded churches. According to Malabar tradition St. Thomas founded seven churches, in Cranganore, Quilon, Chayal, Kokkamangalam, Niranam, Paraur and Palayur. According to Romban song, St. Thomas converted people of whom 6850 were Brahmins. He ordained priests and consecrated Bishops. The Apostle consecrated Kepa, a native as Bishop of Kodungalloor and the head of St. Thomas Christians and Paul as the Bishop of Mylapore. It is worth mentioning that the Apostle gave his converts a way of worship suited to their culture in their own native language and that he did not impose any Jewish customs on them. From the 4th century onwards the Church in India established communication with the Middle East and soon began to introduce books and share rites. Thus the Indian Church became a member of the Syro-Chaldean Patriarchate for practical reasons. The head of the Indian Church was then called The Metropolitan and Gate of All India and had jurisdiction all over the country. When the Chaldean prelates came to India as the spiritual heads of the independent Metropolitan provinces under the East Syrian Patriarch, the administration of the Indian Church was done by a native priest with the title Archdeacon of all India or Jathikkukartavian. Because of the close association of the St. Thomas Christians with the East Syrian Church, the Indian Church of St. Thomas is classified in history under the Chaldean matrix of rites, as we read in CCEO c.28:2. As Pope Pius XII said, during the centuries that India was cut off from the West and despite many trying vicissitudes, the Christian communities formed by the Apostle conserved intact the legacy he left them, and as soon as the sea passage at the close of the 15th century offered a link with their fellow Christians of the West, the union with them was spontaneous (AAS, XLV (1953) PP ). Thus the Syro-Malabar Chuch, as Pope John Paul II said, Never served from the communion with the Church of Rome, in a continuity that the enormous geogrphic distance has never been able to break. ( Insegnamenti Giovanni Paulo II, III/2, Roma, 1980, P. 513). In the XV and XVI centuries the Metropolitans of the St. Thomas Christians, who were then East Syrians, took Amgamaly as their Residential See (cf.bulls of Pope Lourdes Metropolitan Cathedral 311

11 Julius III dated 10 March 1553 and 4 May 1553 in Giamil, genuinae Relationes... Rome, 1902, PP. 17, 18-24). In the history of the St. Thomas Christians the arrival of the Western missionaries to India in the 16th century was a turning point. The Western missionaries helped the growth of the Indian Church, at the same time it also distorted the juridical identity of the St. Thomas Christians. After the Synod of Udayamperoor in the year 1599, Mgr. Francis Roz, a Portugeese missionary, was appointed the first Latin Bishop of the Metropolitan See of the St. Thomas Christians. On the 4th of August, 1600 the Portugeese Padroado jurisdiction was extended to Kodungalloor. The Residential See of the bishop was transferred from Angamaly to Kodungalloor in 1607 in the light of the letter of permision of Pope Paul V, dated 20th August On 22nd December, 1608 the Metropolitan status of the See of Kodungalloor was restored by Pope Paul V. He ordered the geographical division of Cochin and Kodungalloor - Angamaly (cf. Bull of Pope Paul V dated, 12th October, 1609 Bullarium Patronatus Portugalliae Vol II, P. 14) as a compromise formula for settling the jurisdictional dispute betwen the Bishop of Cochin and Bishop Francis Roz of Kodungalloor - Angamaly. On 22nd December 1610 Archbishop Menezes of Goa issued a decree restricting the jurisdictional riots of the Metropolitan of St. Thomas Christians to certain areas in the present states of Kerala, Karnataka, Tamilnadu and Andhra Pradesh (cf. Bullarium Romanum... Vol. XI, PP ). The Policy of latinisation by some missionaries caused dispute and resistance among the St. Thomas Christians and it resulted in a revolt in the year 1653 called Coonan Cross Oath. To remedy this situation Propaganda rule was also introduced on the St. Thoms Christians.The St. Thomas Christians were then divided among themselves under the two Latin jurisdictions of Padroado and Propaganda. The rebel bishops in course of time separated themselves from the Catholic communion. In 1865 the jurisdiction of the East Syrian Patriarch over the Church of the St. Thomas Christians was formally terminted by the Apostolic See. In 1886 the Metropolitan See of Crangannore was suppressed and the St. Thomas Christians were put under Verapoly which was then raised to the status of an archdiocese with the establishment of the Latin Hierarchy in India under the Propaganda Fide. The title of Metropolitan of Crangannore was given ad-honorem to the Bishop of Damao. when the See of Damao was joined to that of Goa the Goan Archbishop began to carry the title of Crangannore also. On 20 May 1887, Pope Leo XIIIth of illustrious memory by the bull Quod Jam Pridem reorganised the Christians of St. Thomas under two vicariates of Trichur and Kottayam. These Catholic St. Thomas Christians were then called The Syro-Malabar Church. On 28 July 1896 by the bull Quae rei sacrae, the same Pope again reoganised the two vicariates into three vicariates of Trichur, Ernakulam and Changanasserry. In 1911 the Vicariate Apostolic of Kottayam was erected for the Suddists. By the epoch making Constitution Romani Pontifices of 21st December, 1923, Pope Pius XI erected the Syro-Malabar Hierarchy and thus restored, to some extent, the hierarchical rule of the St. Thomas Christians. But the form of Government was that of a Latin Metropolitan Province. Ernakulam was raised to the Metropolitan status and the eparchies of Trichur, Changanasserry and Kottayam were made its suffragans. In 1955 the territory was extented to some districts in Tamil Nadu and Karnatake. In 1956 Changanasserry also was raised to the Metropolitan status. By the time the number of eparchies had increased to seven. (contd. p. 503) 312 Lourdes Metropolitan Cathedral
