Kerala: Rebel priests not to read synod circular on Unified holy mass today
New Indian ExpressKOCHI : The Archdiocesan Protection Committee of Ernakulam-Angamaly Archeparchy has decided not to read the circular issued by the Syro-Malabar Church’s synod of bishops, which called for the acceptance of a new uniform liturgy, and asked the priests to read it in their parishes on January 21. In a statement, Fr Jose Vailikodath, spokesman for the Archdiocesan Protection Committee, said an overwhelming majority of the priests and the laity in Ernakulam-Angamaly Archeparchy are opposed to the implementation of the new uniform holy mass. He said the circular by synod of bishops, issued on January 13, had not considered the petitions submitted by the priests and the laity of the Archeparchy against the uniform holy mass. The Archdiocesan Protection Committee, which met at the Renewal Centre at Kaloor, said priests are not concerned about the punishment or action that would come if they celebrate the Holy Mass facing the laity.
