Patriarch visits disputed churches

Ignatius Aphrem II, the Patriarch of Antioch and head of the universal Syrian Orthodox Church, on Monday visited various churches that were handed over to the Orthodox faction following the Supreme Court verdict in the century-old Malankara Church dispute.

The Patriarch interacted with the faithful at the Marthoman Jacobite Syrian Cathedral at Mulanthuruthy. He also inaugurated the reconstructed seminary complex at Vettikkal.

The Patriarch urged the authorities to ensure justice to the faithful and create an atmosphere in which they could continue offering prayers at churches built by them, according to a communication.
