The standoff between the warring Jacobite and Orthodox faction at the Kothamangalam Mar Thoma Cheriya Palli Church seems primed to reach boiling point on Friday. Jacobite protesters have said that they will beat up and break the legs of the Orthodox priest Fr Thomas Paul Ramban if he attempts to enter the Kothamangalam Mar Thoma Cheriya Palli Church to conduct services. These threats are despite an SC order allowing him to enter and a new Kerala HC directive to the state government to enact the SC’s verdict. The Jacobite protesters have blocked Fr Thomas Paul Ramban from entering the Church for over 26 hours, after which a medical team, having inspected the vicar, declared that he needed urgent medical attention, and had him shifted by police to a nearby hospital.
