🔥 Who Really Controls the Church? Unmasking the Power Struggle Behind the 1876 Mulamthuruthy Synod 🔥

"In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, One True God. Amen."

What happens when spiritual tradition meets political authority? The 1876 Mulamthuruthy Synod wasn’t just a gathering—it was a battleground for the soul of the Malankara Syrian Church.

Led by Patriarch Ignatius Peter III, this historic synod redefined the Church's identity, shifting power dynamics, codifying allegiance to the Patriarch of Antioch, and birthing what would become one of the most enduring schisms in Indian Christianity.

Dive into the struggle between Orthodoxy and reform, tradition and modernity, autonomy and allegiance. From the bold leadership of Pulikkottil Mar Dionysius V, the young and revered Parumala Thirumeni, to the contested vision of Mathews Mar Athanasius, this is the untold story of spiritual conviction and ecclesiastical control.
