As per the written assurance by Ernakulam District Collector, the Kolenchery Church Issues would be solved in 2 weeks. In case the Kolenchery church dispute does not get solved in 2 weeks, then the court order would be executed. This has given hopes for the Orthodox factions as the court order is in favour of them. On the other hand, the Jacobite faction would not be able to digest this and would go to any level to prevent the court order from being executed.
Catholicos of the East and Malankara Metropolitan Baselios Marthom Paulose II has stoped his fasting after the assurance by the authorities. On the other hand the Jacobite Catholicos Baselios Thomas I has warned people to be vigilant and alleged that the Orthodox faction was trying to overpower the churches belonging to Jacobites. He also stated that the Jacobite faction would prevent any such moves. Two days ago, he also made a blunder statement saying that the Orthodox faction had bribed the Supreme court officials to get the judgement in favour of them.
Kerala Chief Minister Oommen Chandy has also assured to solve the Kolenchery Church issue at the earliest. Meanwhile the Orthodox faction has stated that it would not cooperate with the mediation committee appointed by the court. There are still many other major Churches in Kerala which are in dispute such as Kadamattom Church, Kothamangalam Cheriyapalli, Manarcad Church, Mulanthuruty Church etc and all of these churches were declared as the assets of the Orthodox Church as per the 1995 Supreme Court verdict.
