I was raised in the Marthoma group, half of my family are members there still. Please study from an unbiased source.Marthoma syrian church is not at all a protestant or anglican church it is an oriental syrian church founded by the st thomas the apostole. actually people posting that marthoma was a protestant church never heared about the church or never visited marthoma church.
There for before posting some thing about marthoma syrians please try to study the history and other details of church.
Note that oriental syrians (marthoma, jacobite, indian orthodox) are not at all communion with catholics because catholics tried to conquer and rule the church but oriental churches in india make a pledge that they never accept pope.the pledge that was taken is known as koonan kurishu sathyam.
No Apostolic Church is in communion with the Marthoma group, only protestants - Anglican, CSI, etc.
The Koonan Cross Oath has many perspectives, not only the Marthoma one that’s regularly repeated without thinking freely.
