2. Mar Thoma II (1670-1686)
3. Mar Thoma III (1686-1688)
4. Mar Thoma IV (1688-1728)
5. Mar Thoma V (1728-1765)
6. Mar Thoma VI (also known as Mar Dionysius I) (1765-1808)
7. Mar Thoma VII (1808-1809)
8. Mar Thoma VIII (1809-1815)
9. Mar Thoma IX (1815)
10. Pulukottil Joseph Mar Dionysios II (1815-1816)
11. Mar Philoxenos, Kidangan (also known as Thozhiyur) (1816-1817)
12. Punnathara Mar Dionysios III (1817-1825)

15. Pulicottil Joseph Mar Dionysios V (1864-1909)
16. Vattasseril Geevarghese Mar Dionysios VI (1908-1934)

These bishops were not titled catholicos of the east. THis was a term used atleast after1912. and Vattasseril Mor Dionysios was not ever appointed as Catholicos, although he was the mastermind behind the 1912 ordination Lijujacobk 16:48, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

The title.

The title of this article is confusing. The Catholicoi (or Catholicos) was first introduced in Malankara (Kerala) only sometimes after 1912. It is not correct to include in this article, the names of heads of Malankara church who died before 1912. Either they are to be removed or change the title.

In an official letter written in February 1829, the title was, “Metropolitan of the Syrian Church in Malabar” and not Malankara Metropolitan. The title Malankara Metropolitans was given after 1829.

How is it possible to call a Malankara Metropolitan, Catholicos of the East? Who is giving this title to a Malankara Metropolitan and on what authority? Head of the Malankara church was an appointment by the people for the people of Malankara, and not by any bishops of foreign churches.

There are more than two Churches in Malankara (Kerala) that call their heads, Catholicos (Catholica Bava).

Which head of church is authorized to give a title or to excommunicate a bishop of another church? Neduvelilmathew (talk) 19:30, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

This Article is baseless

Indian church got the Catholicate only in 1912 AD. The Mar Thoma's (Malankara Metropolitan) is entirely a different regional post. After re-instating the Catholicate in India, H.H. Moran Mar Baselios Paulose I continued the line of Catholicos. He was the 84th Catholicos of East counting from Apostle Thomas. He never held the Malankara Metropolitan post. The present Catholicos of East is Baselios Thoma Didymos I, He is the 90th Catholicos and 19th malankara Metropolitan. He holds both the posts. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 117.196.131.187 (talk) 00:12, 16 September 2008 (UTC)

Mathews Mar Athanasius Metropolitan

This Malanakara Church had no leaders from 1855 to 1864. On March 1, 2009, an unknown user, 115.240.171 89 had decided to delete the name that was given there. Action: rectified.Neduvelilmathew (talk) 21:27, 25 May 2009 (UTC)

Change of Title

The title, List of Catholicoi of the East and Malankara Metropolitans is actually a combination of two entirely different topics. The article is about the Malankara Metropolitans. Also under the sub title, Malankara Jacobite church, it is mentioned that Murimattathil Paulose Mar Ivanios was ordained as Baseliose Paulose as Catholicos of the East at a ceremony held at St. Mary's Church, Niranam on 12 September 1912. If so including the names of other bishops in this article is an anachronism.

Are there any objections in changing the title to Malankara Metropolitans?Neduvelilmathew (talk) 21:27, 25 May 2009 (UTC)

Anonyms Person editing

I've cited sources which shows the usage of the Malankara Metropilitan title by the Mar Thoma Church. An anonymus person has been removing it..really? MalankaraSuriyaniNazrani (talk) 19:27, 1 February 2020 (UTC)

The head of Malankara Marthoma Syrian Church is also a Malankara Metropolitan for sure. Br Ibrahim john (talk) 11:14, 25 October 2020 (UTC)

Useful sources

@Johnchacks: @Eldhorajan92: I found these sources in another article and I hope you will find them useful. I have no chance of finding them physically anywhere near me, but perhaps ye in India herself will have better fortune than that. I have no idea if they are actually reliable or helpful for this topic, but they do look promising. Elizium23 (talk) 15:47, 22 November 2020 (UTC)
