This book is a key work in understanding the canonical (legal and ecclesiastical) traditions of the Syro-Malabar Church. It Explores the historical foundations of the Church’s canon law, which is influenced by East Syriac (Chaldean) traditions.It also discusses The Synods of Diamper (1599), a major event when Latin (Roman Catholic) authority tried to standardize and Latinize the practices of the Thomas Christians. This book mentions about the Indigenous traditions of pre-Portuguese times, heavily linked to East Syrian Christian traditions and  Acts of early local councils and customary law among the Saint Thomas Christians. It also Analyzes how the Syro-Malabar Church developed its distinct canon law, blending East Syriac roots with Roman codifications (especially after the Latin interventions post-16th century).

Through this post we are releasing the scan of the leaflet titled  Latin Rite Christians of Malabar written by Placid Podipara published in the year 1986.

In the Malabar region (essentially Kerala), there are Christians who follow the Latin Rite (introduced mainly by Portuguese missionaries starting in the 16th century) alongside the older, East Syriac tradition (Syro-Malabar). The Latin Rite Catholics form a separate community, with their own dioceses and traditions distinct from the Syro-Malabar Church. His focus was mostly on preserving the original East Syriac identity of the Syro-Malabar Church rather than promoting Latin customs. In fact, he lamented the Latinization and wanted the Syro-Malabar Church to rediscover and maintain its Oriental (Eastern) traditions, including the liturgy, theology, and church governance. This study contains also a review of the historical documents and everyday life of the different communities Malabar from the basis of his study.
