Discrepancies.

edit

Following discrepancies are found in this article.

  1. Though the title is Cheppad Philipose Mar Dionysius (Dionysius IV), this is not his biography but a description of a church where he was entombed.
  2. Mar Dionysius resigned in 1852. So his term ended in that year though he died only in 1855.
  3. He did not appoint any successor, but the Governments of Travancore and Cochin issued Proclamations in August 1852, "approving Mathews Mar Athanasius as Malankara Matropolitan because Mar Dionysius had resigned due to old age." (Ref: Royal Proclamation.)
  4. There was no Orthodox church in Malankara before 1912. So during the life time of Cheppad Mar Dionysius there were no Orthodox churches in Malankara (Kerala) Neduvelilmathew (talk) 04:41, 12 June 2008 (UTC)Reply

Looks better and this article seems to be close to B. Some links like Patriarch looks unintended. Please see whether more links can be added to people/place/org mentioned in the article. GDibyendu (talk) 15:57, 15 June 2008 (UTC)Reply

Anachronisms

edit

This is an explanation to anachronistic statements made in the article “Pulikkottil Joseph Mar Dionysious”

(For more information, please refer the original records still available or history books by unbiased authors)

1. Cheppad Mar Dionysious (Mar Thoma XII) did not consecrate any successor.

2. Pulikkottil Joseph Mar Dionysious was only 9 years old when Mathews Mar Athanaseus (Mar Thoma XIII) was consecrated in 1842.

3. Pulikkottil Joseph Mar Dionysious was consecrated as a bishop in 1865, ten years after the death Cheppad Mar Dionysious.(Mar Thoma XII)

4. The Governement of Travancore and Cochin declared Mathews Mar Athanaseus (Mar Thoma XIII)as the Malankara Metrapolitan in 1852, soon after Cheppad Mar Dionysious abdicated. Thus he became the successor of Cheppad Mar Dionysious. It was Mar Athanaseus who was with Cheppad Mar Dionysious till the end of his life.

5. Pulikkottil Joseph Mar Dionysious was consecrated as a bishop in 1865, thirteen years after Mathews Mar Athanaseus (Mar Thoma XIII) was declared as Malankara Metrapolitan.

6. Mathews Mar Athanaseus (Mar Thoma XIII) appointed Thomas Mar Athanaseus (Mar Thoma XIV) as his successor on June 1, 1868 and not Pulikkottil Joseph Mar Dionysious.

So Mathews Mar Athanaseus (Mar Thoma XIII) was the successor of Cheppad Mar Dionysious (Mar Thoma XII) and not Pulikkottil Joseph Mar Dionysious.Neduvelilmathew (talk) 16:54, 23 July 2008 (UTC)Reply

Comments on 17 edits made from August 12 to 19, to this article, “Cheppad Philipose Mar Dionysius”.

1. Consecration - Malankara Throne. All thrones are chairs. But not all chairs are thrones. Once a chair is used for enthonement it becomes a throne. To Show that Cheppad Mar Dionysius is a legitimate person to be the successor of Mar Thoma I the throne is to be mentioned. Also Malankara throne should be in Malankara. So it’s whereabouts also is given. ‘’Action’’: Reverted.

2.Reformation. The corrections seems to show that the reformation in Malankara Church was the work of Anglican Missionaries. It seems that 125.99.64.186 believes that members of the Malankara (Kerala) church are incapable of bringing reformation in their own Church without the support of a foreign power?

125.99.64.186 thinks that the reformation people (now Mar Thoma Church) “abolished Syrian tradtions and introduced Anglican tradition?” It is necessary to mention from where, when and how Syrian tradtions came to Malanakara and what are the Anglican traditions introduced. Blaming the English for all the troubles in Malankara church is unfounded. ‘’Action’’: Removed.

3. Mathews Mar Athanasius The consecration of Mathews Mar Athanasius happened during the time of Cheppad Philipose Mar Dionysius . So it is necessary to mention it in the article. But details of the life and times of Mathews Mar Athanasius should be in his biography. Action: Unnecessary statements removed.

4. Eastern Orthodox. It is mentioned that, “Those who hold traditional Eastern Orthodox tradition sent Pulikottil Ouseph Kathanar to Antioch.” Are there any document in Malankara (Kerala), written before 1909, (the year in which Pulikkottil Joseph Mar Dionysious II died), to show that Malankara Church used “Orthodox” as an adjective?

Pulikkottil Joseph Mar Dionysious II went to Antioch on May 30, 1864. That is almost 10 years after the demise of Cheppad Mar Dionysius in 1855. This part is in no way related to this article. Action; Moved to the end..

5. Patriarch of Antioch and Malankara Church. It is mentioned that, “Act of reformationists was it gave Antioch an opportunity to interfere in the affairs of Malankara Church.” It is not clear why this matter was added to this article. Antioch interfered in the affairs 20 years after the demise of Cheppad Mar Dionysius. Action: Removed from the article.

Please note that Mathews Mar Athanasius did not give any assurance to the Patriarch of Antioch allowing him to interfere in the affairs of Malanakara Church. It was done by someone else.

Malakara throne

edit

Please study more about this throne before deleting it. Details are in books written by Orthodox and Mar Thoma historians. Because it is an antique it is not exhibited publicly. Neduvelilmathew (talk) 17:05, 29 April 2010 (UTC)Reply

Relisted. Favonian (talk) 11:12, 1 October 2011 (UTC) Names of this ancient historical church clergy at the higher level is not given in the Wikipedia:Naming conventions (clergy). These new titles given to these Malankara Metropolitans and bishops are ridiculus and insulting. I am a member of this church. So the reverting.

Dionysius IV could then go as Dionysius IV of Cheppad. The second, I'd support ALT Thoma VI as suggested. PPEMES (talk) 15:18, 6 August 2019 (UTC)Reply
