The unprecedented move by Pope Francis to release a video message on the Vatican’s YouTube platform, intending to discipline the faithful of the Archdiocese of Ernakulam with the threat of excommunication, is staggering. Such an intense reaction from the pontiff has been rare and never seen before, though there have been several controversies in the past.
Pope Francis never released a video censuring the German Church or the laity for its stance on same-sex relationships and the role of women.
Pope Francis never released a video addressing the discord among traditional Latin Mass groups worldwide (Tridentine Mass) or on the declining trend of the Catholic faith in the Western world.
So why only the Ernakulam archdiocese — a vibrant Catholic community of more than 600,000 faithful, 469 clergy and a large number of religious brothers and sisters
They have only ONE wish: to celebrate the Mass as Pope Francis does — facing people (versus populum). So what has trigged such a vehement reaction from the Pope?
The simple answer is the Pope is “misinformed” about the true realities of the Kerala Church. He is surrounded by a bunch of leaders with a colonial mindset and skewed views. Indians are considered as enslaved faithful under the Roman feudal kings.
Why is Archbishop Cyril Vasil, a Slovakian prelate in Kerala, mandated to be the liturgical police, a modern inquisitor, waging the liturgical war? Who “misinformed” Pope Francis — the Cheganassery lobby of the Syro Malabar Church and a greenhorn diplomat in Pope Francis’ travelling team. Will the Pope become a puppet for a mafia group’s selfish motive?
