I think the Malankara Catholic church split away from Malankara Orthodox Church. --ܠܝܓܘ Liju  ലിജു לג&quot;ו (talk) 05:26, 2 May 2009 (UTC)


 * 1=Portuguese Missionaries/Goa Inquisition

The division happened by the issues with the arrival of Ahatallah and Coonan Cross Oath.


 * 2.1772 Dispute over whether the church should be independent of the Patriarch of Antioch

This is incorrect. Thozhiyur church was formed by Mar Cyril ( Rabban Kattumangatt). He was consecrated as a Bishop by the Syriac Orthodox Bishop, Mar Gregory who came along with the Catholicos Mar John. Due to the fight between Mar Dionysius I and Mar Cyril, Mar Cyril got expelled from the state to Anjoor where he formed an independent church. The formation of this Church has nothing to do with being independent of Patriarch of Antioch. This is small church since its formation with only few thousands of members.


 * 3=1814 Dispute over union with the Assyrian Church of the East rather than Roman Catholicism

From where did you get this ? The members of this church were the followers of Bishop Mellus, who was a Chaldean Bishop who came in 1882. They joined Assyrian Church only in 1907, that is because Chaldean Patriach could not consecrate a Bishop for them. What you wrote is completely wrong.


 * 4=1845 Protestant-style Reformation

It is Protestant Reformation under the influence of Anglican missionaries. I dont know what is the difference in using style.
