By Express News ServiceKOCHI: World Christian Council (WCC) president Kennedy Karimbinkalayil urged the Synod of the Syro Malabar Church to recommend action against Bishop Jacob Manathodath, former apostolic administrator of Ernakulam-Angamaly Archdiocese for anti-church activities. “The laity organisations carry out protests when the police record the statement of the dissident priests. Actions must be taken against all dissident priests also for staging protests,” said Kennedy. He said WCC had demanded the Synod to make a provision for inter-diocese transfers so that the priests of Ernakulam-Angamaly Archdiocese will also get to serve in other dioceses of the church. “As of now, we do not have any inter-diocese transfer but we have demanded the Synod to include such a provision,” said Kennedy..
