Another Jacobite Prelate Reconciled to Rome

CHANGANACHERRY, Travancore: The Most Reverend Mar Ivanios, Archbishop of Trivandrum, recently had the happiness of reconciling to the Holy See the Jacobite Metropolitan of the Syrian Kuanaya Diocese of Malabar, Mar Thoma Dioscoros. Mar Ivanios is himself a convert Jacobite prelate and the initiator of the Malabar Reunion Movement among the Syrian Schismatics, which has won back to Rome, besides a considerable number of Schismatic clergy and two other Jacobite Bishops, Mar Theophilos and Mar Severios.

Details: The new convert prelate, Mar Thoma Dioscoros, is the erstwhile head of the Suddist section of the Malabar Schismatics, who claim to be descended from Syrians who came to this part of India in the fourth century of the Christian era.
