Rebel group stages protest at Bishop’s House demanding ‘justice’ for deacons

(The Hindu Boreau).

Even as the Syro-Malabar Church hierarchy on September 29 (Sunday) appealed for unity within the Church, a rebel group of lay persons and priests opposed to the conditions set for ordaining deacons in the Ernakulam-Angamaly archdiocese held a protest meeting at the bishop’s house in Kochi. They claimed their gathering was in support of the deacons’ demand for ‘justice’.
