User:Eldhorajan92, Have gone through your edits and references in the article. Let me put my points below: 1. First and foremost, a request to you : when you are giving references of google books, add the important points/evidences as quotes - there is an option to add quote "|quote=" in citation templates in wiki. please use that option for easy reference/verification of other editors (applicable for the edits you made in other articles too). It's a tedious job to go through each google book pages and understand what need to be referred in this book. 2. Next, looks like you are confused with the word "Jacobite" in reference books and same confusion is reflected in your edits in this article. Please note, after Coonen cross oath, Christians in Malankara/Kerala divided into two groups - the group accepted Pope of Rome called themselves as Pazhayakoor faction/Old party and other group as Puthenkoor faction/New Party. These groups were also known as "Romo-Syrians" and "Jacobite Syrians". Jacobite Syrians continued referring their church as "Malankara Church". There were different names used to refer this Malankara Church in different documents at different time - like "Punthenkoor Christians, Jacobite Syrians, Malankara Church, Jacobite Syrian Church and Malankara Jacobite Syrian Church. Today's Malankara Orthodox Syrian Church and Jacobite Syrian Christian Church are part of this church - "Malankara Church" till 1912  Refer the diagram below to see timeline of schisms in Kerala Christianity 3.There is no direct relation with formation of Marthoma Syrian Church (Reformer faction) and the name "Jacobite Syrian Church", well before that Malankara Church started referring as "Jacobite Syrian Church". Check the statement - "The reformers there upon formed a new church called Marthoma Syrian Church as distinct from the Jacobite Syrian Church" in the reference google book you shared- Historiography and History of Kerala. It means Malankara Church already referred as  'Jacobite Syrian Church' before the formation of Marthoma Church. Summary of my points: Malankara Metropolitans till 1911 are commmon for both Malankara Orthodox Syrian Church and Jacobite Syrian Christian Church and hence they should be listed under the common list under the subtitle "List of Mar Thoma Methrans and Malankara Metropolitians of Malankara Church" --John C. (talk) 06:52, 16 November 2020 (UTC)

John C., After split of church led by Reformation group, the official name of Malankara Syrian Church split into Marthoma Syrian Church and Jacobite Syrian Christian Church under patriach of Antioch, otherways Malankara Syrian church change to Jacobite Syrian Christian Church as per reference or name as per mulanthuruthy synod. If you say Puthenkoor faction known as Malankara Church, Malankara Mar thoma Syrian church also Puthenkoor faction of Malankara Church then I argued Malankara Church is Common name for Marthoma Syrian Church and Jacobite Syrian, who under control of Patriarch. After split of Malnakara church, who under Patriarch of Antioch is known as Jacobite Syrian Christian Church.

Summary of my points: Marthoma Syrian Church and Jacobite syrian church are Malankara Church, After split, they are known as two different names, Who under Patriarch of Antioch known as Jacobite Syrian Christian Church as per Mulanthuruthy Synod and reference -- EldhoseTalk 08:30, 16 November 2020 (UTC)

John C. Before 1911 and before reformation group, the church under patriarch of antioch, the Jacobite Syrian Christian Church also continue under patriarch, Just name is changed, not function. Originally Jacobite Syrian Christian Church continue primates of Malankara Church under Patriarch of Antioch (today, As per legal issue name of primates changed to Malankara trustee of Malankara Syrian Church also known as Jacobite Syrian Christian Church, no other issues) EldhoseTalk 09:46, 16 November 2020 (UTC)


 * User:Eldhorajan92, Don't stick to some Jargons like "Jacobite" and waste time in petty arguments. Both the churches (today's Orthodox and Jacobite Churches) were known as "Malankara Jacobite Syrian Christian Church" till 1911 or 1912. That is why above mentioned books have the title "..Yakkobaya..". Dont link that name with present Jacobite Syrian Christian Church (JSCC). This name (JSCC) came in effect in 2002 when Jacobite church formed a new constitution and a society registration. Check the diagram I placed above, it has undergone many changes and revisions as per discussions in Talk pages, it clearly says the lineage of both Orthodox and Jacobite churches are same till 1912. I am going to make the changes accordingly.  -John C. (talk) 12:24, 16 November 2020 (UTC)

you can't change of because the church of india under patriarchate of antioch is known as the Jacobite syrian church, malankara orthodox church is split apart from malankara church or jacobite syrian christian church or syriac orthodox church in India and also you can't prove from your side?, this leds to go edit war EldhoseTalk 12:31, 16 November 2020 (UTC)


 * These all are biased statements. In 1912, there is a split happened in Church - one faction supported Malankara Metropolitan and other faction supported Patriarch of Antioch. Both factions consecrated Malankara Metropolitans. In 1958 both the factions united and again separated in 1975. Finally Hon'ble Supreme Court of India gave the verdict - Only MOSC can use the title "Malankara Metropolitan" and Patriarch of Antioch has no temporal power in Malankara Church.  What is your comment on the Wiki diagram on Malankara church schisms which clearly shows the lineage of MOSC and JSCC is same till 1912? If an edit war happens , I will involve admins they will understand the facts easily -John C. (talk) 13:05, 16 November 2020 (UTC)
 * User:Elizium23, please check the discussions and see you can intervene here. A third person required to keep the correctness of this article. Thanks -John C. (talk) 13:20, 16 November 2020 (UTC)

Elizium, John C., In 1958 both the factions united again as per unification decisions, both factions going under Patriarch of Antioch or Part of Syriac Orthodox Church and Augen I accepted as Maphrian / Catholicos of the East of Syriac Orthodox Church. As per legal issues, Jacobite Syrian Christian Church using now as Metropolitan Trustee from Malankara Metropolitian after 2002. The Jacobite Syrian Church continue as Syriac Orthodox Church of India or Malankara Church, as usual part of Syriac Orthodox Church. The Malankara Orthodox Church is separated from Syriac Orthodox Church in 1912 because of established Catholicos of the East by excommunicated Patriarch, later reunification done after excommunicated from syriac orthodox Church. EldhoseTalk 14:35, 16 November 2020 (UTC)


 * User:Eldhorajan92, Can you be little clear here? what are the legal issues preventing Jacobite Syrian Christian Church(JSCC) on the usage of the title "Malankara Metropolitan?

John C., As per Syriac Orthodox Church, Malankara Orthodox Church is Parallel church of Syriac Orthodox Church of India(Malankara Church). Malankara Metropolitan tittle use only by Malankara Orthodox Church as per favorable of court verdict but Syriac Orthodox Church doesnot accept as Head of Syriac Orthodox Church of India or Jacobite Syrian Christian Church or Malankara Church, As per Supreme court order, legally Jacobite Syrian Christian changed Malankara Metropolitian to Metropolitan Trustee of Syriac Orthodox Church in India or Jacobite Syrian Christian Church or Malankara Church, No other issues EldhoseTalk 15:16, 16 November 2020 (UTC)


 * User:Eldhorajan92, I mentioned in below subsection - stating it again - Wikipedia does not need view of any particular church. Unbiased views and facts are needed. You can not say no other issues. There are serious issues. If Supreme Court of India accepted the primate of MOSC as the rightful "Malankara Metropolitan" and banned the usage of this title for JSCC, then lineage of Malankara Metropolitans in JSCC (Jacobite Syrian Christian Church) after 1912 become null and void. So we need to think we can refer them as "Malankara Metropolitans" and keep their list in this article or not. -John C. (talk) 16:06, 16 November 2020 (UTC)

John C., This is only legal issue between two Churches, But still exist Jacobite Syrian Church under Patriarch of Antioch. The Supreme Court accept MOSC Catholicos as rightful Catholicos for Malankara Orthodox Church, this is because of Jacobite Syrian Church changed name Malankara Metropolitian to Metropolitan Trustee But Supreme Court Can't to be say MOSC Catholicos is part of Syriac Orthodox Church of India or Malankara Church or Jacobite Syrian Christian Church. EldhoseTalk 16:16, 16 November 2020 (UTC)


 * User:Eldhorajan92, please be calm and answer to the points. Don't keep on say, its "only" legal issues. Verdict from Supreme court is law of the land. Its no ones view. Its the fact or reality. You need to accept that. So the question again: Why did Supreme court of India rejected the lineage of Malankara Metropolitans in Jacobite Syrian Christian Church and accepted the lineage of Malankara Metropolitans in Malankara Orthodox Syrian Church? Why did JSSC failed in their claims in court? Why court has not accepted your argument - Malankara Metropolitan is the part of Malankara Church under incumbent Patriarch of Antioch?? ---John C. (talk) 16:43, 16 November 2020 (UTC)

Supreme court is law of the land, Yes Its Law of the land, Not Apostolic Benediction or Laws. So the question again: Why did Supreme court of India rejected the lineage of Malankara Metropolitans in Jacobite Syrian Christian Church and accepted the lineage of Malankara Metropolitans in Malankara Orthodox Syrian Church?//Why did JSSC failed in their claims in court? Why court has not accepted your argument// >>>(Ans) Acceptance of 1932 Constitution of two factions, Later this constitution does not recognize Syriac Orthodox Church, who support of Patriarch of Antioch. Malankara Metropolitan is the part of Malankara Church(Syriac Orthodox Church of India) under incumbent Patriarch of Antioch// This question regarding to start from Marthoma I and get answer from Stephen Neil Book reference and other reference also <b style="color:black; font-family:Bradley Hand ITC">Eldhose</b>Talk 16:53, 16 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Sorry to say, not able to understand anything from your response. Importance of supreme court judgements is not just they are the laws of the land, its an independent view on claims of both factions after examining Church canons, traditions, documents submitted by both parties.. Anyway I am not interested in continuing a discussion like this. I will wait till some other users involve here or I will rewrite the article with proper references -John C. (talk) 13:52, 17 November 2020 (UTC)

The Mar Thoma Syrian Church and the Jacobite Syrian Church split into two after the Royal Court Case of 1889. Jacobite Faction supported the Metropolitan under the Patriarch of Antioch while the Mar Thoma (Reformed Jacobites) supported for an autonomous head. As a Marthomite, this is the correct understanding of history. Randomscholar1996 (talk) 10:39, 18 November 2020 (UTC)

Elizium23, This book of 1879 printed St. thomas press in kottayam mentioned name of the church is Jacobite Syrian Church in malayalam and also this says Metropolitan only go with the permission of Patriarch of Antioch at that time in another page.

John C. Check this book and know what is the name of church(യാക്കോബായ സുറിയാനി ക്രിസ്ത്യാനി സഭ-Jacobite Syrian Christian Church)! <b style="color:black; font-family:Bradley Hand ITC">Eldhose</b>Talk 03:28, 30 November 2020 (UTC)


 * What you are trying to prove by this? First of all, what is written in the book title is യാക്കോബായ സുറിയാനി സഭ (Jacobite Syrian Church) NOT യാക്കോബായ സുറിയാനി ക്രിസ്ത്യാനി സഭ (Jacobite Syrian Christian Church)as you mentioned in the comment. Malankara Orthodox Syrian Church (MOSC) was also known by the same name. Once they formed the constitution in 1934, they mentioned it in the constitution that MOSC was wrongly called ‘The Jacobite Church’.  The Jacobite faction is also changed their name multiple times like Malankara Syrian Orthodox Church, Jacobite Syrian Christian Church. Even Syriac Orthodox Church changed their name multiple times. In summary anywhere you are seeing a reference Jacobite Syrian Church, you can not claim that its current Jacobite Syrian Christian Church.--John C. (talk) 04:40, 30 November 2020 (UTC)

 * 2) Mor Geevarghese Gregorios and Mor Yulios Elias Qoro have charge of Jacobite Syrian Church, they preside church.(Malankara Metropolitan was a legal title, which is only head of the church or who preside church of Malankara Syrian Church)

 * True, Mor Yulios Elias Qoro was a delegate to Patriarch of Antioch, he never elected as Malankara Metropolitan and no need to include in the list of Malankara Metropolitan, the head of Malankara Nasranis. Mor Geevarghese Gregorios was also not elected as Malankara Metropolitan, he was the president of the Synod. Better give proper description or drop the name from the list -John C. (talk) 16:31, 14 November 2020 (UTC)

Mor Yulios Elias Qoro gave many orders to build churches and consecrated clergy as his grace was Patriarchal Delegate ( Refer tomb inscription). But not a Malankara Metropolitan. Just give that position vacant during that period. <b style="color:black; font-family:Bradley Hand ITC">Eldhose</b>Talk 16:39, 14 November 2020 (UTC)


 * A bishop who presided the church in the absence of an elected Malankara metropolitan does not qualify to be mentioned as "Malankara metropolitan". Even you can check the church website link (Primates of Jacobite Syrian Christian Church) you shared, these two bishops are NOT listed/highlighted as Malankara metropolitans, that means church itself not considering these bishops as Malankara metropolitans. So we don't even have a primary resource to support your above interpretation, hence we have to drop them from the list -John C. (talk) 17:03, 14 November 2020 (UTC)

I would say Mor Yulios Qoro and Mor Geevarghese were not elected as Malankara Methropolians, but in the absence of an elected Malankara Methropolian they served the office unofficially. I think they even chaired the church association meeting which was a function of Malankara Metropolitan. Suryani-Malankara (talk) 17:24, 14 November 2020 (UTC)
 * User talk:Suryani-Malankara, There is no disagreement with your opinion. Yes, In the absence of a Malankara Metropolitan, they served the office for various reasons (as per the primate's order or as per the decision from synod or as a senior bishop or some other reasons). BUT still they were not "Malankara Metropolitans". Not sure why they were not elected as Malankara Metropolitans. However, even the church is not mentioning them as "Malankara Metropolitans" in any place. Either drop these bishops names from the list or mention the seat was vacant during   period and mention <Name of the bishop> who was in temporary charge of the Malankara Metropolitan during that period as a remark.-John C.

 * @user:Eldhorajan92,

>> "We the Jacobite Syrian Christians....prayers of all saints" - Where is the mention of Malankara Metropolitan and his rights here? You cannot quote something and interpret as you wish. This NOT an evidence for making such a major change. Your change will reverted. The quote in this book is actually taken from "Mavelikkara Padiyola" - a declaration made by the Synod in 1836 against Foriegn/English Protestent Missionaries and to adhere to their Syrian Liturgies. Supreme court of India examined all these arguments and declared the primate of Malankara Orthodox Syrian Church as the Malankara Metropolitan. That is why Jacobite Syrian Christian Church can not use this title and forced to change the title as Metropolitan Trustee. >>''Malankara Church is Syriac Orthodox Archdiocese. The throne of Saint Thomas is only Honorific tittle, no succession parties''. These all are pure biased statements of one faction. Supreme court of India rejected all these claims and arguments. Please dont bring all these claims,interpretations etc to Wiki platform - John C. (talk) 11:35, 16 November 2020 (UTC)

The malankara church under patriarch supremacy, then why assume special about malankara metropolitan? do you have any eligible reference for malankara metropolitan seating succeeded throne of thomas apostle? or succeeded list from first century?

John C., Malankara Metropolitan Tittle is a legal tittle, which is favour for Malankara Orthodox church, then Jacobite syrian church not using this now, Its means not seperated from supremacy of Patriarch of Antioch or Syriac orthodox church of India(Malankara Church or Jacobite Syrian Christian Church) end, the church continue under supermacy of antioch.

 * User:Eldhorajan92, I am not asking the views of Syriac Orthodox Church(SOC) or any other churches views. If churches have such views they can put it in their websites and not in wikipedia articles. Here facts and unbiased views are important. Again I am questioning your contradictory statement - if you are saying "Malankara Metropolitan is the part of Malankara Church under incumbent Patriarch of Antioch" - then how come court can give a verdict which is favoring MOSC - that is legally confirming primate of MOSC as the "Malankara Metropolitan", the church which is not under the present patriarch? -John C.

John C., Syriac Orthodox Church view is Important Because of Malankara Syrian Church is Archdiocese of Syriac Orthodox Church as per reference and the History. At the time of reunification they agree 1932 Constitution together and taken other decisions of reunification synod, Agreeing of 1932 to be cause court verdict against Syriac orthodox church of India or Malankara Church or Jacobite Syrian Christian Church who under Patriarch of Antioch. later Patriarch of Antioch excommunicate Catholicos Faction or Malankara orthodox Syrian Church, who support excommunicated Catholicos of Syriac Orthodox Church of India or Malankara Church or Jacobite Syrian Christian Church. <b style="color:black; font-family:Bradley Hand ITC">Eldhose</b>Talk 16:08, 16 November 2020 (UTC)

User:Eldhorajan92 - A few questions based on your above response. please be specific - no ones views required, only facts needed 1.You mentioned - Malankara Syrian Church is Archdiocese of Syriac Orthodox Church. Question: Did JSCC put this claim in Supreme Court? If yes, Why did court not accept this claim? 2.You mentioned - At the time of reunification they agree 1932 Constitution together and taken other decisions of reunification synod, Agreeing of 1932 to be cause court verdict against Syriac orthodox church of India or Malankara Church or Jacobite Syrian Christian Church Guess you are mentioning about reunification in 1958, So questions : Verdict in 1958 - Whose favour it was - MOSC or JSCC ? Who had to pay litigation costs - MOSC or JSCC? Why was JSCC ready to accept MOSC's 1934 constitution immediately after 1958 verdict? 3.You mentioned - Later Patriarch of Antioch excommunicate Catholicos Faction or Malankara orthodox Syrian Church, who support excommunicated Catholicos of Syriac Orthodox Church of India or Malankara Church or Jacobite Syrian Christian Church. Question: Has Patriarch of Antioch the right to excommunicate Catholicos of Malankara Church? If yes, why the excommunication was not accepted by the court? Why did court mention in the judgement that Patriarch of Antioch does not have any temporal power in Malankara?---John C. (talk) 17:32, 16 November 2020 (UTC)

John C., (Ans1.): The verdict of court order favour for originally MOC, but Jacobite syrian church have only problem to gave money to escape(legal Issue), who charge Supreme court. But officially thats not problem for Jacobite Syrian Christian Church(Jacobite Syrian Christian church get this money from to sell Thrikunnath Seminary (or) Knanaya Dayara property) but they are thinking other way for peace and accept 1934 constitution together under conditions(Before, I give reference for this).

(Ans2.) Patriarch have authority to excommunicate catholicose, Because of catholicate reestablished in India as per conditions of Universal Syrian orthodox Synod presided by Patriarch, later these conditions ignored by Augen Catholicos, then excommunicated from syriac orthodox church. but supreme court is not accepted excommunication because of excommunication not as per 1932 constitution.

 * User: Eldhorajan92, There is not even a single reference of Malankara Metropolitan in referenced Google book. There is no mention of Malankara Metropolitan's rights. A book which is not having a single mention on the subject is not acceptable as a reference. What is there in reality is your own assumptions and interpretations - In other words, your point of views. Wikipedia does not allow this kind of POV edits. Hence from the introduction part, the portion "who oversees the faithful from the Syriac Orthodox Church of Antioch" to be dropped. -John C. (talk) 15:13, 17 November 2020 (UTC)

John C., what I'm said about only who oversees the Malankara church, that's else

.... ecclesiastical and spiritual administration of the Malankara Church is vested in the Malankara Metropolitan, who oversees the faithful from the Syriac Orthodox Church of Antioch. Just check this book of Claudius Buchanan, who lived between 1766 to 1815 (ref). As per Book, Malankara Church enjoy under the patriarch of Antioch.

''....When the Portuguese arrived, they were agreeably surprised to find upwards of a hun dred Christian Churches on the coast of Mala bar. But when they became acquainted with the purity and simplicity of their worship, they were offended. " These Churches, " said the Portuguese , " belong to the Pope . " - - " Who is the Pope ? " said the natives , “ we never heard of him. " The European priests were yet more alarmed, when they found that these Hindoo Christians maintained the order and discipline of a regular Church under Epispocal Jurisdic tion : and tliat , for 1300 years past , they had enjoyed a succession of *Bishops(*Malankara Metropolitan) appointed by the Patriarch of Antioch “ We , ” said they , are of the true faith , whatever you from the “ West may be ; for we come from the place “ where the followers of Christ were first called " *Christians (*Church of Antioch) ..." (ref Page 107-108).

''...I attended divine service on the Sunday. Their Liturgy is that which was formerly used in the Churches of the Patriarch of Antioch. During'' (ref pg 121)

This is enough for all as per travelogue book of Claudius Buchanan.

 * @User: Eldhorajan92, A serious note: There is no mention of Malankara Metropolitan and his rights in book of Claudius Buchanan too. What are you trying to prove here? Mr.Buchanan is getting in to a conclusion which he understood from local people. Read clearly said the natives. Now everyone knows that Malankara Church started relation with Church of Antioch from AD1665 (not from 1300 years of Buchanan's time!! - It was a misconception of poor laity - they believed like that or someone taught them like that ). Don't bring this kind of reference which is questioning other users commonsense and knowledge. Earier Malankara Church used East Syriac liturgy and later (after 1665) started using West Syriac liturgy (Liturgy used/using in Church of Antioch).  Yes, still the same liturgy is using in Malankara Churches (including Malankara Catholic Church). BUT what is the relation between my question and these explanations??  -John C. (talk) 02:30, 18 November 2020 (UTC)

John C., A serious note: There is no mention of Malankara Metropolitan and his rights in book of Claudius Buchanan too But Mentioned Bishop of Malankara, Bishop of Malankara is known as Malankara Metropolitan then this is enough. The Bishop is not big of Patriarch as per Church synods. After relationship of patriarch, they agree nicea, ephesus, Constantinople Synods that means Bishop of Malankara church under the Church of Antioch. The Syriac Orthodox Jerusalem church have succession, But it's under the Church of Antioch as per nicea, Ephesus, Constantinople synods. The malankara Orthodox Church seperated church from Church of Antioch in 1911, Later established Catholicate by ex-communicated patriarch using liturgy of Antioch. The Malankara Catholic Church is Seperated church from 1930 using liturgy of Church of Antioch. If you have other reference for against this? other ways no value.

At first I was pleased to see book-quality sources being added, but am now disappointed to find out that they seem to have nothing to do with our topic. It is not useful to rely on WP:PRIMARY church-affiliated websites for articles, and we see the result of that. As an American, I am confused by the direct intervention of Indian courts into what seems like ecclesiastical matters, so I do not know how to process those kinds of judgements.

John C., As per Supreme court verdict (Point 5)

''In 16th century Christianity gained a substantial foothold in the area now comprised in Kerala. The dominant faith was of the Syrian Orthodox Church. With the rise of the Portuguese political power on the West Coast, the Portuguese (Roman Catholics) compelled local Christians to accept Roman Catholic faith. Christians of Malabar affirmed their loyalty to the Syrian Orthodox Christian Church headed by the Patriarch by taking an oath en masse at Mattancherry, known as the “Koonan Cross Oath”. Since then the Patriarch of Antioch exercised ecclesiastical supremacy over what may be called the “Malankara Syrian Christian Church”. With the rise of the British power in Southern India, they pressurised the Malarikara Syrian...''

John C. I agree, Its favourable for Metropolitan of Malankara Orthodox Church after 1911 Because of Arthat suit as per case.

From Suit (Court Verdict): *Some local Christians supported him which led to the institution of a suit in 1877.


 * But Its not official or not led by Malankara Metropolitan. Any way Malankara Metropolitan independent after 1911 of Vattipanam Suit case by the Indian Supreme court.

@User: Eldhorajan92,Who said it is after 1911? I will come to that. '''Before that I surprised to see comments in your edit summaries while you reverting other user edits on this topic - "Against the talk and as per the reference". Very funny !! what did you explain in this talk page - your own interpretations on the references you provide! What are the references you provide so far? Anything meaningful or directly related to this topic??''' Both the google books do not have any mention on the rights of Malankara Metropolitan. Later you come up with a portion of Supreme Court's verdict in 2017 which was totally in favor of Malankara Orthodox Syrian Church and Jacobite Church started loosing more churches in their custody by the legal procedure based on this this verdict :) Anyway I am happy to see that you started quoting Court orders. Till yesterday you were keep on telling that court orders are "just" legal issues only  history and apostolic benediction matters :)

Well, coming to the remarks you quoted: "Christians of Malabar affirmed their loyalty to the Syrian Orthodox Christian Church headed by the Patriarch by taking an oath ....Since then the Patriarch of Antioch exercised ecclesiastical supremacy over what may be called the “Malankara Syrian Christian Church” ". how are you using these sentences to make statement Malankara Metropolitan is the one who oversees the faithful from the Syriac Orthodox Church of Antioch when there is no mention of the word "Malankara Metropolitan" in the quoted sentences??

Read care fully the same document PDF version of court order you shared In page: 7 Point#6.iii)The authority of Patriarch never extended to temporal affairs of the Church which in that behalf was an independent Church This is related to SEMINARY SUIT in 1879, Note the mention - "independent Church".

In page:8 ''It was found that though the Patriarch of Antioch is the spiritual head of Malankara Syrian Jacobite Christian Church, the churches and their properties are subject to the spiritual, temporal and ecclesiastical jurisdiction of the Malankara Metropolitan. In otherwords, the Patriarch’s claim of control over the temporal affairs of the Malankara Church was negatived once again.'' This is related to ARTHAT SUIT in 1905 In page:182 ''The  prime   jurisdiction   with   respect   to   the   temporal,ecclesiastical and spiritual administration of the Malankara Church is vested in the Malankara Metropolitan and other authorities. It is intended for proper administration of the church and does not run against the concept of the spiritual authority of the Patriarch of Antioch but at the same time, Malankara Metropolitan enjoys all the temporal, ecclesiastical and spiritual administration powers. Thus the power of the Patriarch of Antioch has reached a vanishing point and he cannot exercise those powers which are lying with various authorities under the Constitution as per the historical background noted  in   the   1995   judgment   since time   immemorial.''

Once some lists places, the rightful one should be the first. But We are not ignoring others.

 * User: Eldhorajan92, No. Still there are issues. See this portion: ....is known as Jacobite Syrian Christian Church.[5][6][7][8][9]. Issue#1- Its NOT Jacobite Syrian Christian Church, it may be Jacobite Church, Jacobite Syrian Church or Malankara Jacobite Syrian Church. Whatever the name it is, its unified Malankara Church till 1911-1912 period. You can not keep a hyperlink to the article Jacobite Syrian Christian Church here. Issue#2- Malankara Church started referring as Jacobite Church not after Dionysius-Vth consecration, even before that. None of the references you attached are not saying that this was after 1877. If you are not in agreement share the quotes here from the references (don't know why did you keep 5 references here) you attached as evidences, else this portion will be removed from the article. -John C. (talk) 07:22, 6 December 2020 (UTC)

You can't remove the portion as per reference Syrian orthodox church is known as Jacobite Syrian Christian Church is Clear, At the unified time Malankara Syrian Church is the part of Syriac Orthodox Church. Jacobite Syrian Church only contine relationship between Syrian Church under Throne of Antioch like Malankara Syrian Church. <b style="color:black; font-family:Bradley Hand ITC">Eldhose</b>Talk 07:34, 6 December 2020 (UTC)


 * User: Eldhorajan92, Please share the quotes you have used to make this edit, then will see what need to be done. Just by throwing some links you can not claim "as per reference". Don't think other users should simply accept whatever the links thrown by you as "unquestionable references". You are responsible to show the relevant quotes from the claimed reference google books/ webpages. Otherwise definitely this portion will be removed - John C. (talk) 07:49, 6 December 2020 (UTC)

 * User: Eldhorajan92, Please share the quotes you have used to make this edit. I can see five references you attached. Then why are you reluctant to quote the remarks from your references. Here no one is interested to listen your POVs.-John C. (talk) 08:07, 6 December 2020 (UTC)

John C., The Marthoma Syrian Church is a reformed section of the Syrian Orthodox Church in India (Eucharistic Sacramentality in an Ecumenical Context-The Anglican Epiclesis)

mention Name of Church - Jacobite Syrian Church

The defendants and their Partisans have voluntarily separated themselves from the ancient Jacobite Syrian Church and have constituted for themself a new church called Malankara Orthodox Syrian Church(All India Reporter-1959)

The reformers there upon a new church called Marthoma Syrian Church, a distinct from the Jacobite Syrian Church. (Historiography and History of Kerala)

The history from the 15th cent. onward is well-documented (see Thomas Christians). The community that rejected the authority of Rome in 1653 gravitated to the Syr. Orth. Patriarchate of Antioch by 1665, and this relationship was then nurtured by bishops who were delegated from Mesopotamia. Schisms within the community seeded the current Malabar Independent Church (ca. 1772), Church of South India (1836), Mar Thoma Church (1889), Malankara Orthodox Church (1912/1975), and Malankara Catholic Church (1930) leaving the Malankara Syriac Orthodox Church alone under the Syr. Orth. Patriarchate today.

As per conclusion the name is Syrian Orthodox Church in India Under Patriarch of Antioch known as Jacobite Syrian Church also Malankara Syriac Church(Syrian Orthodox Church in India) the direct jurisdiction of the Patriarch of Antioch because of abolished Maphrianate in persia then no more reference required <b style="color:black; font-family:Bradley Hand ITC">Eldhose</b>Talk 09:11, 6 December 2020 (UTC)


 * Good that you finally placed the quotes here. Also noticed that you modified the sentence in the article as "The Malankara Syrian Church, came under the Pulikkottil Joseph Mar Dionysius, who was consecrated[4] as Metropolitan by Ignatius Peter IV the direct jurisdiction of the Patriarch of Antioch is known as Jacobite Syrian Church.[5][6][7][8][9]". Read the sentence, check whether it is syntactically correct, in case you want to make any more changes, please do that also - I have queries. I will raise them one by one. - John C. (talk) 13:19, 6 December 2020 (UTC)

''The Ignatius Peter IV Patriarch of Antioch, who was the spiritual head(Jurisdiction) over the Church of Antioch and all the East(belongs to Throne of Antioch: Not mentioned article) consecrated Pulikkottil Joseph Mar Dionysius as metropolitan for the Malankara Syrian Church which is also known as the Jacobite Syrian Church. Later Pulikkottil Joseph Mar Dionysius II was recognized as the rightful Malankara Metropolitan by the Royal court through it's order.'' <b style="color:black; font-family:Bradley Hand ITC">Eldhose</b>Talk 15:15, 6 December 2020 (UTC)

Relevancy of the references added
User: Eldhorajan92, Many times I told you that the references you are adding to Wikipedia articles to support your edits are not having any relation with the topic. Sometimes there is not even a single mention of the subject in the cited reference. Sometimes you bring some references which are not qualified to call as "reference" because of the anonymity of author/publisher or factual errors in that document/webpage. The best example is this link you added: http://www.scooch.org/member-churches/the-syriac-indian-church. When I examined the description of member churches in that website (http://www.scooch.org/member-churches) its having a serious error - they placed Malankara Orthodox Syrian Church's emblem with wrong name and wrong description of the church. When I pointed this out and removed this invalid reference you simply argued "Emblem is error! Description have no error or anything, this is the official portal of Oriental orthodox church communion in america other ways Jacobite syrian church known as syriac orthodox church of india, check wikipedia official article of Jacobite Syrian Church!" and revered my edit. Finally I had to 'teach' you the member churches in Oriental Orthodox family : "The Oriental Orthodox Churches are composed of six autocephalous churches: the Coptic Orthodox Church of Alexandria, the Syriac Orthodox Church of Antioch, the Armenian Apostolic Church, the Malankara Orthodox Syrian Church (Indian Orthodox Church), the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church, and the Eritrean Orthodox Tewahedo Church. Jacobite Church is not an autocephalous church" to pause your disruptive editing. User:Eldhorajan92, Please understand you are wasting a good amount of time of other users and also you are misleading Wikipedia readers by this kind of edits. -John C. (talk) 02:17, 5 December 2020 (UTC)

Malankara Orthodox church is not part of oriental orthodox community in America what ever they don't add any article of malankara orthodox, then what is the problem, how to say this reference is not required!

Malankara Church known as Syriac Orthodox Church of India, that website already said that

''The history from the 15th cent. onward is well-documented (see Thomas Christians). The community that rejected the authority of Rome in 1653 gravitated to the Syr. Orth.

On the usage of regional language documents/webpages as references
Elizium23, A doubt, can we use a document/webpage in any regional languages (Eg: Malayalam, Tamil etc) as a reference for an article in English Wikipedia? If yes, are there any guidelines to use them. Please help. Thanks in advance -John C. (talk) 10:40, 4 December 2020 (UTC)
