Major Archbishop of the Syro-Malabar Church George Alencherry
has been raised as a Cardinal of the Catholic Church. The investiture will take
place in Rome on February 18. The announcement of the raising of the Major
Archbishop came at the St. Thomas Mount, on the outskirts of Kochi, which is
the headquarters of the Syro-Malabar Church. Bosco Puthur, Curia Bishop, made
the announcement in the presence of a large gathering of priests and nuns. Mar Alencherry said that his being raised as a
Cardinal was a recognition given to the Indian and the Syro-Malabar Church,
which had its presence all over India now. He recalled the examples set by his
predecessors Cardinals Joseph Parekkattil, Antoney Padiyara and Varkey
Vithayathil.
