Roman Catholic Church contradicts on the Status of Self Proclaimed Catholicos and Malankara Metropolitan

India/Global: Roman Catholic Church contradicts on the Status of Self Proclaimed Catholicos and Malankara Metropolitan. The title given by Vatican Website(http://www.vatican.va/holy_father/benedict_xvi/audiences/2012/documents/hf_ben-xvi_aud_20121024_en.html) to Baselius Cleemis is “H.B. BASELIOS CLEEMIS THOTTUNKAL, Major Archbishop of Trivandrum for Syro-Malankara” which is the original title of the Primate of the Malankara Catholic Rite.

Catholic Bishops Conference of India (CBCI) website has instituted two different titles to Major Archbishop Baselius Cleemis. This is evident from the official website of CBCI.

In the list of Cardinals Page, Baselius Cleemis is addressed as ‘His Eminence Cardinal Baselios Mar Cleemis
Major Archbishop of Trivandrum (Major Archdiocese – Syro-Malankara’ – http://cbci.in/Cardinals.aspx), where as contradictory to this in the ‘About CBCI’ Page (http://cbci.in/About-CBCI.aspx) the Major Archbishop is addressed as Moran Mor Baselios Cleemis Catholicos (Vice President I).

KCBC (Kerala Catholic Bishops Conference website (http://www.kcbcsite.com/kcbc_malankara.htm) bestows the title ‘His Beatitude Moran Mor  Baselios Mar Cleemis CatholicosMAJOR ARCHBISHOP OF SYRO MALANKARA CHURCH’.

The official website of the Syro-Malankara Catholic Rite http://www.malankaracatholicchurch.net/major_archbishop.html) claims Baselius Cleemis is the Successor of St Thomas in India, Catholicos, and Malankara Metropolitan.

All the above details clearly show how contradictory and unclear is the status of the Self Proclaimed Catholicos and Malankara Metropolitan within the Roman Church. The entire Roman Catholic Church does not have a unified idea or official stand on the Status of the Major Archbishop and Cardinal of the Syro Malankara Rite.

    You got your facts wrong. If you look at the Catholic church down the centuries,  their appetite to control the Christian world is unparrelled.  It is the Catholic Church which is power hungry and hegemonistic.  They have been fishing  in the  waters of Malankara for over 500 years. Now the ploy of employing this  third grade group is one of their  latest tactics .  The machivellian politics of catholic church is the reason for the ill feelings.
