- The Syro Malabar Church in Kerala has received widespread condemnation from the Christian community for doubling down on a senior priest who has been a staunch critic of a bishop accused of raping a nun.
- The letter also warned him to stay away from a 14 November protest aimed to gather broader support for the nun.
- The Syro Malabar Church took a dim view of Father Vattoly because he spearheaded a Save Our Sisters (SOS) action meet, which was set up to intensify protests against Bishop Franco Mulakkal — the accused bishop in the nun rape case.
- Some senior members also took to the streets to show their support for the accused bishop.
- Weeks after the fault lines came out in public, the nuns — including the one who has accused the bishop of rape — are facing immense pressure to remain at the convent in Kuravilangad.
