Parish Council "Selection" Update- in SMCC Ammayi-Achamma Proxy War

(Dear Readers: Many of you have complained for sometime about having difficulty opening this blog or reading Malayalam on your computers. We believe this is due to not having the Malayalam Unicode font installed properly in your computers. What ever the reasons for this may be, we have decided to solve this problem by doing most of our future publishing in English. We hope our Malayalam loving readers will not feel alienated and continue to be our readers. The Editors, SM Voice.)

Two indefatigable icons of Syro-Malabar Catholic Church, Bellwood, are waging a bitter proxy war in the selection of the president of SMCC, who also has a seat in the Parish Council. One is the self-proclaimed Ammayi of all Syro-Malabarians, Mrs. Kathrikkutty and the other, the more subdued Mrs. Achamma. Mrs. Kathrikkutty, with the blessing of the parish priest, Fr Antony, is sponsoring and supporting the unforgettable Chandu Pottu, while Mrs. Achamma's favourite candidate is Mr. Joshi Vallikkalam. Needless to say both Chandu Pottu and Vallikkalam belonged to the immediate past, utterly spineless, parish council too.

Ammayi and her husband Vakkachan are known as the albatross duo of Syro-Malabar Church in Chicago. They have always managed to cling to positions of authority one way or other. They have a knack to put the priest in charge of the parish, whoever he is, including Fr Antony, in place, by their sheer chutzpah.

As far as the battle in SMCC is concerned, Ammayi is in the arena after taking a terrible dribbing in Chicago East Ward. There, her favourite candidate, her cousin Chackochan (surprise!!!) lost by lot to the incredible Pothan Vallikkalam. Pothan could be a pain in the ass for authorities, but his wife, Beena, has been a favourite of Fr. Antony's. The vicar can pray hard that Beena can put a zipper to her husband's loose mouth.

Coming back to the SMCC issue, SM Voice has learned, Ms. Chandu Pottu has tried to gain more votes by enrolling some new members in the organization, who are more likely to vote for him for the position of president. He is a darling of the bishop. A pet, really. He is a back scratcher of the vicar too. There is no question the authorities want Chandu Pottu in the new Parish Council.

As matters stand right now, it seems Ammayi is going to lose this battle too. The people are so fed up with her and her husband's shenanigans. And needless to say this strange character, Chandu Pottu, is in our radar too. We can now confidently disclose Mr. Pottu is one of the many who misused the Syro-Malabar Tax ID.

Fr. Antony and Ammayi have been constantly trying to ram their favourite candidates down the throat of Syro-Malabarians during this "selection" season. It has been a shameless display of official misconduct unbecoming any one, much less a man, supposedly, of God.

Mrs. Agnes has been running around like crazy, cooing to anyone willing to listen, she is the chosen one by the vicar to be in the parish council. We believe it. Stranger things have happened.

I am a Syro Malabar Church member..

Please try to keep God first. We need to bring back the Altar of cathedral church as in our old beautiful church. “If only I can touch his cloak, I shall get well.” David, the Psalmist, declared in Psalms 31:1, "In Thee, O Lord, do I put my trust; let me never be ASHAMED: deliver me in Thy righteousness." And the Apostle Paul again reminds us in Romans “Whosoever believeth on Him SHALL NOT BE ASHAMED."

Where was your concern, when they consecrate the church with a scandalous cross in the Altar of the new cathedral? Instead of preaching Joyful Gospel, the Chicago SMC church preaches the bitter gospel of their wickedness and their veil of darkness. The most venomous and false accusation happened in the Chicago Syro Malabar diocese under the leadership of Mar Angadiath. When Fr. Angadiath became the Mar Angadiath, he thought he became the king of the SMC. Please note that after inception of the New Cathedral church in Bellwood, he lost all his voices and a few name sake priests are supporting him. The Chicago diocese is responsible for all this mess. Why can’t you voice your concern to the bishop and let the dividing curtain and scandalous cross be taken way from the church and thus unite our Malayalee Christian brothers together. There is some satanic force is working through our Bishop because of his greed and his unexpected bishop position. Do you think that the SMC Bishop and Fr. Antony is spiritually good people? I do not know. They are #1 criminals of our community.
