His Holiness Catholicose’s disciplinary action against HisEminence Mar Gorgun

Indian Orthodox Church

His Holiness Moran Mar Baselios Marthoma Didimos Ist, Catholicose of the East, on the throne of St. Thomas, has withdrawn the recognition which was granted to H.E. Metropolitan Mar Severios Moses Gorgun, vide order no, 131/2010. H.E. Metropolitan Mar Severios Moses Gorgun was acting as the Metropolitan of Syrian Orthodox Church in Europe and Indian Orthodox Church had granted recognition to be so vide the Order of H.H. The Catholicose of the East (No. 237/2009 dated 12th May 2009) As against the routines and practices of the Holy Church, H.E. Mar Gorgun consecrated a Keralite Monk with the name H.G. Joseph Mar Barthelomos and appointed the new Bishop as the Metropolitan of the Angamaly and South Kerala Diocese of the Syrian Orthodox Church in Europe, without seeking the approval or having consultation with the Holy Episcopal Synod of Indian Orthodox Church when and where he claims that H.H. Moran Mar Didimos Ist Catholicose is his Spiritual Father. Upon hearing the news H.B. Paulos Mar Militios, Catholicose Designate wrote a letter to H.E. Mar Gorgun seeking explanation for the in disciplinary action. It is learnt that the reply of H.E. Mar Gorgun was not only unsatisfactory, but also rebellious. And this has prompted H.H. The Catholicose to release the order withdrawing the recognition, which was granted previously to him.
