Head of the Syro-Malabar Church, Cardinal George Alencherry, quit his post on Thursday, 7 December amid an ongoing feud in the Ernakulam-Angamaly Archdiocese of Syro-Malabar Catholic Church, involving the implementation of a uniform Holy Mass and the church’s land dealings. Cardinal Alencherry said he had resigned first in 2019, and then again in November 2022. The Pope finally accepted it.
