മാലോകരെ കണ്ടാലും


9.5 മില്യണ്‍ (95 ലക്ഷം) ഡോളര്‍ ചെലവ് ചെയ്തു ചിക്കാഗോയില്‍ ഞങ്ങള്‍ പണി തീര്‍ത്ത മനോഹരമായ പുതിയ ദേവാലയത്തിന്‍റെ മദ്ബഹ മതഭ്രാന്ത്‌ കയറി ഞങ്ങളുടെ മെത്രാന്‍ മാര്‍ അങ്ങാടിയത്ത് അപരാധിച്ചിരിക്കുന്നത്‌ കണ്ടാലും. അഖില ലോക കത്തോലിക്കാ സഭക്ക് തന്നെ അപമാനമായ മെത്രാന്‍റെ നടപടിയെ ശക്തിയായി അപലപിക്കുവാന്‍ ലോക മേമ്പാടുമുള്ള സഭാ സ്നേഹികളായ എല്ലാ സഹോദരരോടും ഞങ്ങള്‍ അഭ്യര്‍ത്ഥിക്കുകയാന്. ഞങ്ങളുടെ പിതാവിന്‍റെ തല നേരെയാക്കി നേര്‍വഴിക്ക്‌ തിരിക്കുവാനും, അതുവഴി ലോകമെമ്പാടുമുള്ള മനുഷ്യരുടെ പരിഹാസത്തില്‍ നിന്നും ഞങ്ങള്‍ ചിക്കാഗോക്കാരെ രക്ഷിക്കുവാനും നിങ്ങളുടെ മുട്ടിപ്പായ പ്രാര്‍ഥനക്കും ശക്തിയായ പ്രതികരണത്തിനും മാത്രമെ കഴിയൂ.
കാഴ്ച കണ്ടാല്‍ ഞെട്ടാത്ത മനുഷ്യരോ തകരാത്ത ഹൃദയങ്ങളൊ കരയാത്ത ദൈവങ്ങളോ എവിടെ?

The sermen dear Bishop gave yesterday was like Jeramiaha Wright ones in Chicago United church which haunted Obama for a while. Why dear Bishop trying to convince the sermen listerner? This is the 5th time in 60 days you are going back from Bible message and serving political message. This is out of guilty conscious.You said
" Committee was well aware about this curtain"
Does the committee has any comment?
" This was in the original plan"
Its a lie. If it was in the original plan where was you thinking to hang the veil? in the sky? If this was in the original plan, of course you would have design the Sanctuary in a way to fit the veil. This was the mistake the church autthorities did.

Hi Dear friends,

This is What our churches did,doing and will do.They eat everthing that they can with smile and promises,once everthing is inside except the tale then they will say "who"?"what"?"no".Don't worry dear brothers and sisters,days are not over by one day.You do your duties and God will do the rest!.God is always with you specialy who give the love and need unity.Those who want split,God has plan for them too!.

We teach our kids that Heaven and Hell they both on Earth,So they know being a good kid that they are experiensing heaven on earth.And now we are saying "curtain"represent the separation of earth and heaven.If heaven is on earth why we need to seperate?Why we need to block that by a curtain?We are not hiding anthing in the Altor.Also we know Jesues Chist crusified for us to save us from the sin and it is truthful.Do we need to hide that by curtain?to tell the truth Iam kind of confused by all these actions that taken by......????

Dear Chicago syro Malabar Community, do not blame your poor Bishop Angadiath. I was the one forced him to do this Veil. Your Bishop wanted to install the Veil only, but I told him unless he open and close during the mass witnessing Major Archbishop and Cardinal Mar Varkey Vithsyathil to see this drama, I will not come. So forcefully he has to do it. That is why this was not in the plan. So blame me. Your Bishop did it because He owes me one from 2001.

Dear emeritus Bishop of Palai, you are some cowardly parishioner from Chicago. Nobody is fooled.
But while on the subject of Palai bishop, he pulls the strings, and the puppet in chicago dances. Because all of us know Angadiath got his thoppi and vadi, thanks to the crooked devil in Pala and the anthikristhu in Changanacherry. The day Angadiath stop dancing to Pala tune will be his last day as bishop in Chicago.

From what I understand, this is all symbolic. In kerala itself different dioceses dont agree to it, but those who explain mention what it symbolizes. I know one person here have talked about that part. While I really dont care if there is a curtain or not, i think the people who are not from those dioceses in Kerala with the curtain have problem accepting it. Do all of you agree with all the other symbolisms that our church uses? what about the "claver kurish"? what about the X amount of prayers in syro-malabar mass versus the ones in english that you go to here? what about Dhoopakutti? what does that symbolize? There are lot more symbolisms that youa re okay with but have problem about this one. I belive the problem is against the bishop himself and thw wa things were dealth with than with the curtain!
A Syro-Malabar Catholic away from Chicago, who reads Theeppantham!

So please leave our Bishop alone.

Well said about the vk kurian funeral. You mess with the great panamkuzhackal family, you pay for it, does not matter if its the pope. The thief from palai was here for the church dedication, but nobody even cared about him. Angadi really put him in his place. He was humiliated. he was out of place. why did he come? what for?

I can help your bishop angadiath. Please send him to Kerala, and I will take him to Kakkanadu, near the St. Thomas Mount. They have a great mental hospital there, in Kakkanad. If this is happening in Kerala, it will not last one hour. believe me. they have tried to do that in kerala some places. but we know where to put our bishops and priests.

it is clear the bishop is not impartial. why don't you try to get the bishop removed. If all of you try he will not be able to survive. And the church will be saved.

Dear Chicago Palakkaran, did n't you know that old pala pitha came to see the opening and closing of the sheela which he invented and wanted to see with naked eye since his family baptised by St. Thomas at Pala. In AD 52 Pala was near Kodungallur. Our Bishop said he will do the sheela. But Pala pitha said no I want to see you doing this keeping the Cardinal off the Alter. So rest is history

This does not look like the altar of a Catholic church to me. If it is, then your parish priest and the bishop and all their supporters should be ex-communicated.

So please collect from him...just ask a packet to Sam...

Answer to the above comment:
Do you consider the theeppantham people as fools? Some one offers $1000. You offer information. Theeppantham is too smart to fall into that trap. If your heart is bursting with information, why don't you put some as comment.

Answer to the Nattpiraanthan,
You say better to cover holy things, than leave it open. Then why don't we cover the whole church. Or better yet, leave the whole church closed because it is holy. And we will pray from the parking lot.

Che kalngu.The curtain killed the beauty of the church and harmony of the parishners.Ay ay ayeeeeeeeeee.Those who put that crrtain are not living in this era or in this country. have a suggestion; before any priets are appointed in syro malabar church they should at least work in an american catholic church at least for two years to be incultured.Even though suriyany priets are living in usa they have the same malayaly attitude and narrow mindedness towards parishners and parish administration.Bishop not only responsible for this but those who are in the diocese and those who are controlling them holding the string from kerala,who are called "prishtavadikal" and "seelavadikal".those work in the diocese are the followers of those group who led keral church into the edge of a split.Mar varkey Vithyathil is a compromise actor in this drama.Drama continues after interwells.wait and see.According to the canon law lay people are supposed to controll the administrative and economical roles in the syrian church but that is forgotten and the bishops and priests controll everything instead of being a pure spiritual father.

Muzhupiranthan is funny and right cover the whole church.Or believers boycot sunday mass there for few sundays and go to another catholic church and do not cocoperate financially untill the curtain is removed.Then the bp and preiats will know the consequence.Be brave in the land of freedom and justice.

Sorry, we as a community is destined to fail. Because we, including me, don't have the guts to stand up for the truth. And the priestly class, they know it very well. They are sucking the blood of the laity. The only work they do is say the mass, 1 hour. Rest time they go to their buddies house and gossip, and make plans for mischief.

Anonymous said...

Hey Chicago parishner you are right :They just say mass and rest peacefully with what they want and dominate laity and enjoy the sweat of parishners for their enjoyment.

Anonymous said...

There is a way to kick this nut bishop out of the church. Cut the financial inputs, curtail his other activities. Isolatethe supporters both in the church and the society as well. It wouldn't take long for this guys to lose his followers, who are just but hangers on feeding on the bits and pieces that the bishop throws at them. Cut them off completely and you will attain freedom. Freedom is your my dear Syro malabaries or should I call you Zero Malabaries. That is what is you are left with culturally speaking.

If bishop Angadiath believes he can just ignore the feelings of a majority of the parishioners here and believe everything is going to be smooth, he got a surprise waiting for him. His days of tears has just started. His actions prove, contrary to popular beliefs, he is just another political hack. And the chicago malayaaless just don't put up with these kind of crap. His life from now is going to be misarable.

Hello:

Church is an institution with itsown rules and regulations. Before we wage a war against anybody, why can't we look in to what the church ask us to do. I know some bad elements in kerala are acting agaianst the church teachings. (I mean what the church ask us to do with authority from Vatican)These people in Kerala have their own personal interest there. But why should we bring that politics in to our neck of woods and divide our community? Don't play toys in the hands of these minority puppettiers from Ernakulam Angamaly, Trichur etc.
Let's pray for unity. If our bishop did anything against what the church asked us to do, I am willing to support the action of our beloved ......who cut the curtain..

It is Utopianism to look at a beutiful sanctury covered with a curtain which makes me think as if looking at a huge Gas tank. It is totally unacceptable and unfortunate

Anonymous said...

let's all hang out with the manishan that cut off the curtain. the beauty of the palli has demised due to the cutting of the curtain..next sunday we should all make a new curtain with the bishop's face..
