India is known for its rich diversity of religions, cultures, and traditions. It is the birthplace of major religions like Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, and Sikhism, and it is also home to large populations of Muslims, Christians, and other faiths. Through this study, “The coexistence of three sui iuris churches in India: Advantages and disadvantages”, we try to know the origin of Christianity particularly, the Catholic Church in India. We go through the historical origin of each sui iuris churches, namely, Latin Church, Syro-Malabar Church and Syro-Malankara Church. We pay attention to the struggles that they had for the establishment of their own hierarchy, the mistrust, the arguments, superiority and inferiority etc. At the end, we aim to know how these three churches sui iuris function together to contribute for the good of the Church in India, by completely accepting and appreciating their autonomous power and at the same time keeping in mind that all the churches in the Catholic Church have equal rights.

Abstract

India is known for its rich diversity of religions, cultures, and traditions. It is the birthplace of major religions like Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, and Sikhism, and it is also home to large populations of Muslims, Christians, and other faiths. Through this study, “The coexistence of three sui iuris churches in India: Advantages and disadvantages”, we try to know the origin of Christianity particularly, the Catholic Church in India. We go through the historical origin of each sui iuris churches, namely, Latin Church, Syro-Malabar Church and Syro-Malankara Church. We pay attention to the struggles that they had for the establishment of their own hierarchy, the mistrust, the arguments, superiority and inferiority etc. At the end, we aim to know how these three churches sui iuris function together to contribute for the good of the Church in India, by completely accepting and appreciating their autonomous power and at the same time keeping in mind that all the churches in the Catholic Church have equal rights.
