There will be no compromise on the unified observance of holy mass in parishes under the Syro-Malabar Church, Major Archbishop Cardinal Mar George Alencherry has said in a communication issued to bishops, priests, and laity on Friday, after the culmination of the Syro-Malabar Synod here.
Any diversion in any archdiocese would lead to anarchy in the church, he said, without specifically referring to the Ernakulam-Angamaly Archdiocese, where many believers and priests have been reiterating that they prefer the mode of worship where the priest faces members of the congregation. Difference of opinions must be solved through discussions, he said.
The Pope has agreed to look into the Synod’s request to post a papal delegate for the archdiocese to help solve the prevailing crises.
