Kanisa Katoliki la Kisiria la Malabar

Kanisa Katoliki la Kisiria la Malabar ndiyo madhehebu kubwa kuliko yale yote yanayosisitiza kuwa yametokana na kazi ya Mtume Thoma na kati ya yale ya Ukristo wa Mashariki yenye ushirika kamili na Papa na Kanisa Katoliki lote. Linafuata mapokeo ya Mesopotamia na kutumia liturujia ya Mesopotamia, lakini linapatikana hasa Kerala na Uhindi kwa jumla, halafu katika nchi mbalimbali ambapo waamini wake wamehamia, kama vile Marekani, ambako lina majimbo mawili, na Kanada, Australia na Britania ambako kuna jimbo mojamoja.

Kwa jumla lina waumini milioni 4.503 (2023), wakiongozwa na askofu mkuu kabisa wa Ernakulam-Angamaly na maaskofu wengine 63, mapadri 9,121 katika parokia 3,224. Kwa sasa Kanisa hilo lina masista 35,000 hivi na mabruda 6,836.

Kati ya waamini wake, sista Mfransisko Maria Alfonsa Matathupadathu alitangazwa mtakatifu na Papa Benedikto XVI tarehe 12 Oktoba 2008. Baada yake wametangazwa watakatifu wengine watatu: padri Kuriakose Elias Chavara na masista Roza Eluvathingal na Maria Teresa Chiramel.
