Talk:Pulikkottil Dionysius II

message: It is incredibly misleading --- and intellectually dishonest --- for this article to make it appear that Mar Dionysius was in any way associated with the Mar Thoma Church. The Mar Thomites are Protestant, a heterodox heresy according to orthodox/catholic Christianity---and the Malankara Church was certainly orthodox being of the East (originally) and West (since the 17th century) Syriac traditions which were *orthodox*.
Moreover, the myth of Jewish Christianity in Kerala needs to be countered. There is *no* factual information that supports this. All literary evidence points to our origins in the East Syriac Church which was not Jewish Christian (although it was Semitic). What "Hebrew" traditions exist in the Nasrani community? Absurdity. The author ought to be ashamed of him/herself, writing such overtly non-historical propaganda.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.48.107.190 (talk) 05:18, 2 April 2009 (UTC)

message: Is this the same person as Mar Thoma IX? The two articles are somewhat confusingly written, but one possible interpretation is that the same man became "Mar Thoma IX" and then later changed his name to "Pulikottil Joseph Mar Dionysious". If that is so, the articles should be merged; if it isn't, some explanation is in order (e.g. why does this article describe the death and burial of Thoma but not of Dionysious). –Henning Makholm 20:18, 22 April 2008 (UTC)

Other discrepancies.
#Mar Thoma IX and X. - Kadamattathu Ipe Kathanar was enthroned as  Mar Thoma IX by Mar Thoma VIII without the approval of the people and the clergy. Some people still do not accept him as a Mar Thoma and such people call Pulikottil Joseph Mar Dionysious as Mar Thoma IX.
#I-but-II-in-parentheses title. – Another predecessor, Mar Thoma VI (1765-1808) was also known as Dionysious. The author is not sure whether to accept this previous one also as Dionysious.
#Orthodox Church – During that period the church was called Malankara church and not Malankara Orthodox church. The name Orthodox Church was used by Jacobite faction sometime after the visit to Kerala by Mor Ignatius Abded-Mshiho II  of Antioch in 1912.
There are other discrepancies also in this article and that of Mar Thoma IX. Both need complete overhauling.Neduvelilmathew (talk) 18:17, 14 May 2008 (UTC)
