Syro-Malabar Church issues norms to resolve row over uniform Mass
Kochi: Syro-Malabar Church issued a circular with a set of guidelines to resolve the row over implementing uniform mode of Mass in Ernakulam-Angamaly archdiocese. As per the circular, a unified Holy Mass will be offered in all parish churches on Sundays and other days of obligation. This arrangement is to commence on July 3 with the feast of Dukrana. The said uniform Holy Mass should be conducted between 5.30am and 10.30am or between 3.30pm and 6.00pm. In churches with only one Mass on Sundays, an additional Mass should be offered in the unified mode, either as second Mass or on alternate Sundays. Until synod decides, the existing Mass schedule will continue to be valid in parishes/churches of Ernakulam-Angamaly archdiocese. In all churches and during all Masses, a Bema should be used as prescribed in the Holy Mass text. Currently, when the major archbishop and his vicar visit churches in the archdiocese, the Holy Mass is offered in uniform mode. Other bishops visiting parishes for spiritual needs of family members and relatives should also be provided the opportunity to offer Holy Mass in the unified mode. Newly ordained priests, who have taken an oath to offer Holy Mass in an unified manner, are obliged to do so but considering pastoral needs, the major archbishop has the discretion to grant dispensation from this duty according to Canon law (CCEO c. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Free P2,000 GCash eGift UnionBank Credit Card Apply Now Undo 1538). If the pastoral situation in parishes requires it, newly ordained priests can submit a written request for dispensation, which will be evaluated by the archdiocesan head. Issues concerning priests, currently subject to disciplinary actions, will be amicably resolved considering canonical legal possibilities. In churches where Holy Mass is being offered only in unified manner, this practice will continue. Any existing issues in these churches will be amicably resolved through discussions. The current curia members of Ernakulam-Angamaly archdiocese will transition to new responsibilities starting July 3, in light of this arrangement being implemented, the circular said. Meanwhile, the special tribunal for archeparchy of Ernakulam-Angamaly, constituted in the wake of disciplinary violations in the archdiocese, is going ahead with its actions. The tribunal issued a decree on Thursday directing Archbishop Joseph Pamplany to evict Fr Varghese Manavalan from the office and presbytery of St Mary's Cathedral Basilica expeditiously. The tribunal also decreed that Fr Manavalan be removed from the newly constituted presbyteral council immediately.

Man swindles engineer of over Rs 8L through fraudulent scheme
1 2 3 Bhubaneswar: The cyber crime and economic offence (CCEO) police in Bhubaneswar on Tuesday arrested a 27-year-old man for allegedly defrauding a systems engineer from Bengaluru of Rs 8.32 lakh through a fraudulent investment scheme . The accused, Swastik Nayak, resides in Infocity area and is employed with a private organisation here. According to police, the 26-year-old victim, also from Bhubaneswar, knew the accused personally. Last year, Nayak convinced her to join a pyramid-structured multi-level marketing organisation, with assurances of swift returns on investment. The victim, trusting their personal connection, invested a substantial amount in the scheme. "The accused exploited the victim's trust and convinced her to invest in what turned out to be a fraudulent scheme. We are investigating if more people have fallen prey to this scam," said DCP Jagmohan Meena. The victim, unaware of the deception, invested Rs 8.32 lakh in the bogus company and subsequently lost her funds. She filed a police complaint on April 22. Police investigations revealed that the accused allegedly misappropriated her money by presenting himself as a key associate of a Hong Kong-based financial organisation. "The organisation had previously conducted illegal money circulation operations disguised as direct selling multi-level marketing. The scheme required members to make substantial investments and recruit additional participants to receive commissions and bonuses. Such chain structures inevitably collapse at some point, causing significant losses to investors, while only those who joined initially potentially receive financial benefits," another police official said. The CCEO has advised citizens to be cautious of investment schemes promising unrealistic returns and to verify the legitimacy of such schemes with appropriate financial authorities before making any investments.
