There were constant quarrels, because these Latin bishops little understanding of the liturgy of the Thomas Christians is foreign to them and mustered a more or less strong approximation aspired to the Latin rite. As so often in the past it was in 1874 by one of the Syro-Catholic Patriarchate of Babylon to India named bishop sent Mellus Elias, who worked without permission of Rome among the Thomas Christians, to a great confusion. Aloysius Pazheparambils Order of the "Carmelites of Mary Immaculate" was one of the most loyal defenders of the Church's unity and fought the bishop acting illegally Mellus sustainable. Although Mellus finally relented, drifted a part of his followers in a schism and split off from the Catholic Church. Against this background and to avoid such harmful to future developments, a group of 10 monks called the "Carmelites of Mary Immaculate" the establishment of their own rite Catholic bishops, to rule over them.

Originally a monk of the Syrian Carmelites, he was expelled along with nine others in 1875 from the religious order by the local bishop for writing to the Pope asking for an Indian bishop to rule his church.

Early life and ordination

[edit]

Aloysius Pazheparambil was born in Pulinkunnoo at Alleppey and joined the Carmelite order for Catholic Syrians in 1860.

At that time, the local Catholic Thomas Christians were under the authority of a Latin Church bishop. There were constant quarrels, because these Latin bishops had little understanding of the Thomas Christians. The Thomas Catholics eventually began agitating for their own bishop.

Against this backdrop and to avoid such harmful future developments, a group of monks asked for a native bishop. Priest Aloysius Pazheparambil was the head and spokesman of this group and for his actions was, in 1875, expelled from the Carmelite order along with the others by Leonardo Mellano, the Apostolic Vicar of Verapoly.[1]

Pope Leo XIII soon intervened, and in 1887 dissolved the episcopal structure then present and designated for them the Apostolic Vicariates of Trichur and Kottayam, headed by the Latin bishops Adolph Edwin Medlycott and Charles Lavigne. Both were respectful to the Thomas Christians and their rite, and with an open mind prepared the transition to local bishops. This finally happened in 1896 when Medlycott and Lavigne resigned from their Vicariates and the Pope reorganized the Vicariates to create Vicariate of Ernakulam. In that year came the first Syro-Malabar titular bishops, elevated as Vicars Apostolics to the dioceses. One of them, the Vicar Apostolic of Ernakulam, was Pazheparambil.[1][2]
