In the clash over the liturgy that has continued to tear the Syro-Malabar Church apart since 2021, the ordinations of new priests in the archdiocese of Ernakulam-Angamaly have also become the occasion for new divisions.In the clash over the liturgy that has continued to tear the Syro-Malabar Church apart since 2021, the ordinations of new priests in the archdiocese of Ernakulam-Angamaly have also become the occasion for new divisions.
Apostolic administrator, Mgr Bosco Puthur, agreed to proceed only after the deacons submitted an affidavit in which they agreed to perform their priestly functions according to the laws of the Church, with particular reference to the “uniform” manner of celebrating the Holy Qurbana, the Eucharistic liturgy of the Malabar communities, which has been a source of tension in the Church of Ernakulam-Angamaly for years.
The reactions were not long in coming. “Almost 200 priests participated in the ordination ceremony,” said Fr Kuriakose Mundadan, secretary of the archdiocesan presbyteral council. “Usually in this type of celebration the first part is the ordination and then the first Mass is celebrated. Many priests of the archdiocese participated in the ordination ceremony, but boycotted the first Mass of the new priests with Mar Bosco Puthur to express their dissatisfaction with the recent appointments and for not allowing them to celebrate Mass in front of the people as happens in almost all the parishes of the archdiocese.
Representatives of the Almaya Munnettam forum also waited until the end of the celebration to express to Bishop Puthur their protest against the circular of Oct 30, which some groups of faithful had also burned at the end of the Sunday liturgies of Nov 3. The group also declared its intention to boycott the apostolic administrator in all public places, not approving the appointment of new members of the curia.
