The Catholic Church is an organic entity capable of adapting the social history of communities in its growth and evolution.

Early this month, while upholding the verdicts of two lower courts, Kerala High Court ordered Cardinal Alencherry to face trial for the sale of various holdings of Ernakulam-Angmaly Archdiocese four years ago.
