- Catholicos_of_the_East abstract "Catholicos of the East is an ecclesiastical title used by Eastern Churches. The title Catholicos, or "universal leader", is used in several Eastern Christian churches and implies a degree of sovereignty and autocephaly. The designation "Catholicos of the East" originated in the see of Seleucia-Ctesiphon, the capital of Persia, center of the Church of the East since the early days of Christianity in Persia.In the Church of the East, also known as the Nestorian Church, "Catholicos of the East" was one of the titles borne by the Bishop of Seleucia-Ctesiphon, who was the designated Patriarch of the Church of the East. It is still used in two successor churches, the Assyrian Church of the East and the Ancient Church of the East, the heads of which are known as Catholicos-Patriarchs.Later, in the seventh century, the minority Syriac Orthodox Christians who lived in Persia began using the title for its Maphrian, who was originally the head of the Syriac Orthodox Christian community in Nestorian-dominated Persia. This office ranked second in the Syriac Orthodox church hierarchy after the Syriac Orthodox Patriarch of Antioch, until it was abolished in 1860.In the 20th century the title "Catholicos of the East" was resurrected in the context of the Malankara Orthodox Syrian Church, the ancient Indian church founded by the Apostle St. Thomas which is in communion with other Oriental Orthodox Churches. Contention over the foreign Patriarch's secular authority over the Indian Church, its dioceses and parishes led to a rift in the community, leading the Malankara Metropolitan along with prominent clergymen and laymen to request the deposed, yet legitimate Patriarch Ignatius Abdul Masih II to arrive at Malankara in 1912. The Patriarch consecrated the Metropolitan Paulose Mar Ivanios as Baselios Paulose I, Catholicos of the East on the Apostolic Throne of St. Thomas. The events divided the church into two factions, the Malankara Orthodox Syrian Church, led by the Catholicos, and the Jacobite Syrian Christian Church, who supported the Patriarch. In 1934, the Malankara Syrian Christian Association, which is the parliament of Malankara Orthodox Syrian Church decided that the titles Catholicos of the East and Malankara Metropolitan should be vested in the same person. Ever since, the Supreme Head of Malankara Orthodox Syrian Church holds the title Catholicos of the East and Malankara Metropolitan.In 1958 the church was reunited when the Supreme Court of India approved the legitimacy of the Catholicos of the East, and ruled that the church should be administered in accordance with the Church Constitution of 1934. Following the Supreme Court verdict, the dissident faction which supported the Patriarch received the Catholicos of the East Baselios Geevarghese II as the supreme head. In 1964, after the death of Baselios Geevarghese II, the Patriarch of Antioch Ignatius Ya`qub III, as an expression of friendship, accepted the invitation of the united Malankara Orthodox Syrian Church and arrived in India. The Patriarch then consecrated Metropolitan Augen Mar Themotheos as Baselios Augen I, Catholicos of the East. However, in 1973, the Patriarch sent an encyclical to the Catholicos questioning the priesthood of Apostle St. Thomas. The Patriarch excommunicated the Catholicos, saying that St. Thomas could not be considered an apostle. In response Baselios Augen I excommunicated the Patriarch. The split survives to this day, with the faction supporting the Patriarch being known as the Jacobite Syrian Church. At present, the seat of the Catholicos of the East is India's southern city Kottayam in the scenic state of Kerala. The Thronal Cathedral of the Catholicos of the East is Mar Elia Cathedral, Kottayam, Kerala. The pontiff resides in the Catholicate Palace, Devalokam, Kottayam, Kerala.Note: The title 'Catholicos of the East' held by the Supreme Head of Malankara Orthodox Syrian Church is not to be confused with the title Catholicos of the Jacobite Syrian Christian Church in India held by the local head of Malankara Archdiocese of Syriac Orthodox Church , also known as the Jacobite Syrian Church.".
