The Association in its meeting has requested the Catholicos Mar Geeverghese II to assume the additional role of Malankara Metropolitan also, due to the demise of previous Malankara Metropolitan Mar Dionysius VI. The practice of the Catholicos and Malankara Metropolitan being vested in one person is being continued even today.

(Malankara Roman Rite) or The Syro-Malankara Roman Catholic Church (Western Syrian Liturgy) Nearly a hundred thousand people went over to this new rite from the Syrian Orthodox Church.
