Versus Populum Continues to Divide Syro-Malabar Church

There is a new development in the long-running dispute over the celebration of the Mass in the Syro-Malabar Church. According to OSV News,

The church based in southern Kerala state has asked all defiant priests in the Ernakulam-Angamaly Archdiocese to follow the synod-approved (or โ€œuniformโ€) Mass, in which the celebrant faces the altar during the Eucharist, on or before July 4 or face expulsion.

For more background information, Neil Xavier O’Donoghue has written extensively about this issue in the Syro-Malabar Church here on Pray Tell. His most recent post from March 2022 links to his previous posts on the topic.
