In a decree dated June 22, Archbishop Andrews Thazhath said he would remove the vicar of St. Mary’s Cathedral Basilica in Ernakulam, southern India, and dissolve the parish council if they continued to block the celebration of the “uniform mode” of the Syro-Malabar Eucharistic liturgy, which is known as the Holy Qurbana.
This is a real head scratcher. The on-going battle in India about the liturgy has truly become scandalous and unbelievable.
It’s not the traditionalists who are rigid causing the furor. No it is the progressives who will not go along with the Pope Francis’ approved compromise in terms of how their Divine Liturgy is celebrated. It is an Eastern Rite.
After Vatican II, their Liturgy began to be celebrated facing the people, a bit of an anomaly for an Eastern Rite. However, recently, there was a desire to return to ad orientem, but not completely. The Introductory Rite, Liturgy of the Word and Concluding Rites would be facing the people, but the Liturgy of the Eucharist would be facing the liturgical east.
Progressives would have nothing to do with it. They protested and became violent! The Cathedral had to be shut down as its altar and sacred vessels with Consecrated Species were toppled and desecrated.
The Archbishop blames the pastoral council and others.
The Holy Spirit may be telling the pope something here. Germany, while not violent, has become schismatic because of their synodal way and a lay women is leading the way to violence.
Read the strange synodal meltdown in India and all based on ad orientem for the Liturgy of the Eucharist which Pope Francis desires!!!!! What a head scratcher!

I might suggest that something is horribly lacking here. Catechesis. Perhaps it is not, however, for people to get violent over a posture that embeds verticality and all facing the divine with in intercessor in between is very strange. The presbyterate sounds profoundly undisciplined and, perhaps, not well educated on a variety of topics often considered here, therefore, not requiring an additional recount.
Father McDonald,
Off topic but this is how unhinged and totalitarian Dems have become:
"Democratic New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy's administration filed three "emergency" lawsuits on Wednesday against several school districts that implemented new policies requiring staff to notify parents if their child expresses the desire to change their gender identity."
Yet braindead, corrupt bishops and priests will continue to vote for them!
