this should redirect to Syriac Catholic Church. The Vatican refers to the Syriac Catholic Church as the Syrian Catholic Church, while the Syriac Catholic Church refers to itself as Syriac.

 * What evidence do you have that the Syro-Malabar Catholic Church is not referred to by that name? How do we know the Syriac church is the primary topic? —C.Fred (talk) 04:00, 12 February 2013 (UTC)


 * Hi C.Fred, thanks for your reply. the Syro-Malabar Catholic Church and the Syriac Catholic Church are both Eastern Catholic Churches meaning they both fall under the bishop of Rome, the Pope. The Catholic Encyclopedia[] refers to the Syriac Catholic Church as the "Syrian" Church and the "Syriac" church interchangeably, while uses the term Syro-Malabar Catholic Church to refer to a sect of the St Thomas Christians. Similarly the Orthodox counterpart for the Syriac Catholic Church is refered to as both the Syriac Orthodox Church and Syrian Orthodox Church. Also the Syro-Malabar Catholic church offical website[] never mentions "Syrian". Also, many of the articles on wikipedia that reference the Syrian Catholic Church refer to the Syriac Catholic Church. Finally this linke [] which is taken from Annuario Pontificio an official vatican document refers to the Syriac Catholic Church as the Syrian Church NOT the Syro-Malabar Catholic Church  3abos (talk) 04:23, 12 February 2013 (UTC)
