The article doesn't seem to spell out why this religious groups are called Jacobites. A brief history would be usefull. Cheers Wiki San Roze †αLҝ 13:22, 24 February 2008 (UTC)
I am a jacobite and the history as told to me by fathers/priests in our parishes is that during the time long ago when christianity was at its nacent stage, christian were very much persecuted for being christians and at that time Bishop Jacob (presumably Jacob Bardaeus) was jailed and pretty much all christian priests were killed. Since the rite of becoming a priest in line of St. Peter continues only by putting ones hand on the one who is to be consecrteated as a priest and no other person could simply declare anyone priest, christianity was at the grave danger of being finished. but during his time in jail when ever people come to visit this bishop he would simply put his hand on the head of his faithfull visitor and consecreate him as priest so that the christian faith would continue in his subject. such was his devotion to christianity.
When did we came to be called as jacobites thats a confusion it was either since long ago, or after the koonan cross oath event or after some judicial order resulting the split of saint thomas christians. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 117.238.8.105 ( talk) 16:54, 19 March 2014 (UTC)
This article says that the Jacobite Syrian Christian Church is also known as "Malankara Syrian Orthodox Church". There is also an article called Malankara Orthodox Syrian Church, which is also in Kerala. This is very confusing, and there should be something in the article that explains that they are different (if they are different — otherwise the articles would be merged). ... discospinster talk 00:31, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

I was trying to do some copyedits to the above article and found this odd sentence The Church has dioceses and churches in most parts of India as well as in the USA, Canada, United Kingdom, Western Europe, and the Persian Gulf nations. A Church can't have churches!
Of course a Church can have churches ! The Roman Catholic Church has churches all over the world. The Church of England has churches all over England. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, and the Seventh Day Adventist Church, both have churches in many countries. The paradox arises because "church" has two different meanings --- a Christian organisation, OR a building used for Christian services. See foe example the Concise Oxford Dictionary : church 1. a building used for public Christian worship. 2. a particular Christian orgaisation with its own distinctive doctrines. (Also 3, which means basically the whole Christian religion taken together)
I think the editor means parishes. Do Jacobites call them parish? I have inserted hidden text with that question there and if it is fixed can the editor please remove the inserted text. Cheers Wiki San Roze †αLҝ 09:27, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

The Patriarch fraction is known as
Jacobite Syrian Orthodox Church, and the Catholicos fraction as
Malankara Orthodox Syrian Church. An Independent Orthodox Church body also exists since 1772 AD by name,
Malabar Independent Syrian Church, which is not in communion either with the Patriarch or Catholicos.
Majority of the Orthodox christians in India,including me, accept the Patriarch of Antioch as the Spiritual leader, and Catholicos of East as the autocephelous head. Similar to the situation in Georgia, where Georgians accept the Catholicos of Georgia as their autocephelous head and Ecumenical Patriarch of Constantinople as the Spiritual head.
The Malankara orthodox church have autocephelous head. The Jacobite syrian christian church are branch of syriac orthodox church. As per constitution of Malankara orthodox church, they don't have patriarch or any relation between syriac orthodox church because of constitution says "The Malankara orthodox church shall not recognize the Patriach, canonically consecrated with the co-operation of catholicos"(Constitution of Malankara orthodox). The Jacobite Syrian Christian have only relation between syriac orthodox church and Jacobite syrian church together and continue under the throne of Antioch.

The Jacobite Syrian Christian Church website gives the following information.
[1] THE FOUNDING OF CHURCH
Who established the church in India? People belonging to every Christian denomination of Kerala, in one voice would answer St. Thomas. Syrian Orthodox Church also believes so, St.Thomas reached Kodungallur by ship in AD 52. The widely accepted tradition is that St. Thomas visited various places and baptized many Jews and Hindus and thus began the process of establishing the Church. Middle east countries and Kerala had trade relations during the early centuries. So it may not have been difficult for St. Thomas to reach the coasts of Kerala.
[2] CHURCH IN INDIA
St. Thomas, one of the twelve apostles of Jesus Christ, is the founder of the ancient Church in India. Christian writers and historians from the 4th century refer to the evangelistic work of Apostle Thomas in India, and the Indian Christians ascribe the origin of their Church to the labors of the apostle in the 1st century. 117.202.114.86 ( talk) 19:36, 12 February 2013 (UTC)

Users like Roshyf2 & Iravikorthanan are continuously making impulse moves and changes in the article with out any proper reference. Also they edit Wikipedia in a way to confuse readers that Marthoma church is the true successor church of the Malankara church forgetting the facts in references which says Marthoma church got separated from Malankara church in 1889 with results of Anglican reformation. Also argues with unnecessary claims like Marthoma Church is another Malankara Church. Here I want to make it clear that Malankara Church is an Oriental Orthodox Church , however Marthoma church is an Anglican Reformed church got legally separated from Malankara church in 1889 with the Travancore Royal Court verdict which declared that the Reformist faction in the Malankara church has NO rights spiritually or temporally in the existing Malankara Church. The Reformists organised as a new independent church called Reformed Syrian church. After the death of Thomas Mar Athanasius, they adopted a new name for the church called Marthoma Syrian Church of Malabar. They cannot claim any spiritual or temporal lineage of the Malankara Church. Iravikorthanan and Roshyf2 knowingly or unknowingly want to hide this fact and want to project that Marthoma church is another Malankara church to confuse wiki readers.

Orthodox Syrian Church ( Syrian Orthodox church) is erroneously called as Jacobites. So the Malankara Church is also erroneously called as Jacobites. Please see the third clause of the constitution which states that [3]The ancient and the real name of the Malankara Church is the Malankara Orthodox Syrian Church although it is also wrongly called ‘The Jacobite Church’, for the same reason for which the Orthodox Syrian Church has been also called so.
So what is the problem with Malankara usage ? It says Malankara Church was also erroneously called as Jacobite Church. That means Malankara Church is restricted to the Jacobite Church(Orthodox&Jacobite).

Court Findings
In A.D. 37 Apostolic See at Antioch was established by St. Peter to whom the stewardship of Church was entrusted by Lord Jesus Christ. It took root in Kerala within 20 years of the epoch making events in Jerusalem, the crucifixion, resurrection and ascension of the Lord Jesus Christ. St. Thomas, one of the 12 apostles of Jesus Christ visited India in A.D. 51/52 and established 7 Churches in the Malayalam speaking parts of South India. They are known as Malankara Jacobite (or orthodox) Syrian Church, "Malankara" means "Malayalam speaking" `The two Syrian Orthodox Churches in Syria and India, along with the Egyptian (Coptic), Ethiopian, and Armenian Churches, belong to the group of Ancient, or Oriental Orthodox, Churches, wrongly called "monophysite".

Please read the Supreme court of India verdict----- The most sensitive issue which has been subject of great debate in this Court was posed as Question No.18, "Has the Malankara Church become an autocephalous church?
and it was answered against the respondent by recording the finding:- Most. Rev. P.M.A. Metropolitan & ... vs Moran Mar Marthoma & Anr on 20 June, 1995 Indian Kanoon - http://indiankanoon.org/doc/634316/ 25
"We, therefore, hold that the Malankara Church is not an autocephalous church but is a part or division of the world Orthodox Syrian Church and set aside the finding of learned single judge that the Catholicos group has now established an autoceohalous church. We hold that while Patriarch of Antioch is the head of the World Orthodox Syrian church, Catholicos of the East who is subject to the Constitution is head of the Malankara Church and the relationship between Patriarchate and the Malankara Church is governed by the provisions of the Constitution."

I don't want to confuse anybody. I just quoted the 1932 constitution of Malankara Orthodox Syrian Church and 1995 Supreme court of India verdict in Malankara Church case to show that Jacobite Syrian church is a Malankara Church or Malankara branch of the Syriac Orthodox church of Antioch. If you simply say Jacobite church it means Syriac Orthodox church of Antioch. If you say Malankara Jacobite you mean Jacobite christian in India. So Malankara Jacobite Syrian Orthodox Church is a good title to describe the Indian branch of the Syriac Orthodox Church. Also please see the references I quoted for the names in the Article.Thanks Phantom ( talk) 13:47, 16 July 2016 (UTC)
Wikipedia doesn't necessarily use the legal name, instead use the commonly recognized name as title of an article. Also consider reliable third party references . Hence use the most popular and easily recognized name as the title. If we use Jacobite, Malankara should come in front of it because in English wiki, readers are from different parts of the world. It would be easier for them to identify it as an Indian branch of the Jacobite church. Phantom ( talk) 20:14, 16 July 2016 (UTC) Phantom ( talk) 20:14, 16 July 2016 (UTC)

@Kokkarani, now let us discuss first on the references provided by me. For me, it proves "Jacobite Syrian Christian Church" is the official name and the one in usage also. I request you to provide similar proofs for the current title "Malankara Jacobite Syrian Orthodox Church". Thanks in Advance - 59.95.67.190 ( talk) 03:07, 18 July 2016 (UTC)
I am also convinced that the legal/official name of the church in discussion is 'Jacobite Syrian Christian Church'. However the article title in Wikipedia might not necessarily be the same. The most common and easily recognizable name is preferred. In that sense I prefer Malankara Syrian Orthodox Church . However this title got confused with Malankara Orthodox Syrian Church. Actually Jacobite is a derogatory term like Nestorian. (Jacobite-followers of Jacob Baradaeus; Nestorian-followers of Nestorius). The church in discussion uses this derogatory name as its official name. I just explained it before that they do it because it is popular and easily distinguishable from the Malankara Orthodox Syrian Church. So in my opinion, Malankara Jacobite Syrian Orthodox Church is the apt title .
The term "Jacobite" was not even their own choice, but was given to them by their Greek Orthodox rivals. They readily accepted it, however. Read more: http://www.everyculture.com/Africa-Middle-East/Jacobites-History-and-Cultural-Relations.html#ixzz4EjY5s8vl
Thus, the church was called Jacob-ites by other Chalcedonian churches to insinuate that the church was new body that formed under Jacob Baradaeus rather than the direct continuation of the Syriac Orthodox Church and the Patriarchate of Antioch.- see the NAME part of this article. Phantom ( talk) 05:36, 18 July 2016 (UTC)
About the statement The term "Jacobite" was not even their own choice, but was given to them by their Greek Orthodox rivals. Yes, I agree, this was true in 6th century. But in 2002, it was own choice of holy
episcopal synod of Jacobite Church.
Then why we need to discuss here whether the term Jacobite is erroneous/derogatory?? Wikipedia should use the official name as title. Again, I want to reiterate the fact "Jacobite Syrian Orthodox Christian Church" is not only a official or legal name of the church but also the common name referred since June 2002 (once the church constitution formed).
Please see below articles from different newspapers. In all theses articles the church is referred as Jacobite Syrian Orthodox Church Jacobite Syrian Christian Church. All are recent news on the Church
You can confirm this by Google-News Search by giving "Jacobite Syrian Orthodox Church" "Jacobite Syrian Christian Church". But if you try with current title of this wiki article ("Malankara Jacobite Syrian Orthodox Church") you may not even get a single news article after June 2002. !! -

Malankara Jacobite Syrian church existed from 1665 as Oriental Orthodox church in different names at different points of time. All are the same church- Malankara Syrian Church Please see the preface in Malankara church.
The Malankara Church is a church of the Saint Thomas Christians of Kerala, India, with particular emphasis on the part of the community that joined Archdeacon Mar Thoma in swearing to resist the authority of the Portuguese Padroado in 1653. This faction soon entered into a relationship with the Syriac Orthodox Church of Antioch, and was thereafter often known as the Malankara Syrian Church.(Gregorios & Roberson, p. 285.; Vadakkekara, p. 91.) Malankara Syrian Church means Malankara Syrian Orthodox church. Mandrake_the_Magician ( talk) 04:10, 19 July 2016 (UTC)
Sorry I am not distorting any facts, however I present these facts for your consideration.
1) ( Marthoma 1 who was the Archdeacon of the entire st thomas Christians was elevated as Marthoma in 1653 by an indigenous tradition of laying hands of 12 priests.)
No. There was no such indigenous tradition of ordination of a bishop. This was an emergency step as there were no bishops available to ordinate him as a bishop. Marthoma knew this ordination was not canonical. He could not submit any valid canonical document in front of the King to prove his ordination is valid. Even now we know that some priests together couldn't ordain a bishop. So we accept that the ordination was not regular.
2) ( However the jesuits and carmalites propagated a theory that the consecration practiced Among St Thomas Christians is invalid.)
They didn't propagate a theory, however they just took advantage of the fact that the ordination was not proper; and people believed it. Catholics could reclaim a large people to their fold.
3) (This prompted the St thomas christians and Mar Thoma I to write letters to different see's which st thomas christians have historic fraternity. They wrote letters to Church of East, Church Of Alexandria, Church of Antioch. The Patriarch bishop of Jerusalem (whether he is a Jacobite??) heard the plea and he came over Malankara to consecrate Marthoma 1 with proper apostolic validity in 1665.)
The Syriac Orthodox Bishop of Jerusalem Gregorios Abdal Jaleel regularized the consecration of Mar Thoma I in 1665 and they forged a relationship each other.
4) (There is no reference that the church became under church of Antioch or any other because of this act. Mar Thoma Christians followed the same old chaldean east syriac tradition.If instead of a Jacobite prelate if an alexandrian or armenian prelate came in 1665 whether church would have been under them)
You may check when the Chaldean church was formed. It was formed only in the 16th century AD. What you mean by the East Syrian tradition? Is it Nestorian? or Chaldean? Whether Malankara church came under the authority of the Syrian church or not, it adopted Oriental Orthodox faith from Mar Gregorios Abdal Jaleel. Hence the rival faction, the Catholics called them Puthenkoor Syrians showing their new loyalty. This itself is a good reference that the Malankara church adopted Oriental Orthodox faith from 1665. Mandrake_the_Magician ( talk) 17:00, 19 July 2016 (UTC)

As I have given enough independent reliable published references, I request the the present name (Malankara Jacobite Syrian Orthodox Church) to be kept. Also please note that my opponent/opponents only produced some news paper references. Thanks Mandrake_the_Magician ( talk) 03:13, 20 July 2016 (UTC)
NO, Coonan cross Oath was in 1653 & Regularization of Marthoma was in 1665. It took only 12 years. The faction who was loyal to Marthoma was called Malankara Church and the other faction was called Roman Catholic church. However in 1665 Marthoma forged a relationship with Greorios Abdal Jaleel and accepted Kaiveppu(traditional apostolic succession). Thus the learned historians say that they accepted new loyalty or Puthen koor. It is at this point the rival faction started calling them Puthen koor Syrians. The term Syrian is associated with the Syrian church, not with the language they use. If it was with the language they use , then they should have been called Syriac Christian. Chaldean church was called Chaldean. East Syrian Church was called Nestorian. Monophysite church was called Syrian. Those monophysites who united with the catholic church are called Syrian Catholics(middle east, not in India)
Jacobite church is definitely a Malankara Church , the other being Malankara Orthodox Syrian Church.(Both are Malankara branch of the Syrian Orthodox church of Antioch).

Dear User:Kokkarani(aka Phantom and Mandrake the Magician), many of your above arguments are highly debatable. I can say its extreme Jacobite biased version of Kerala Church History. Anyway, lets come to the point - What is the ACTUAL name of this church? You said:As I have given enough independent reliable published references.....my opponent/opponents only produced some news paper references, Did you not see links of Jacobite church constitution, Official Website, SOC Patriarch's & Regional Head (Catholicos)'s pastoral messages which I shared above? "independent reliable published references" are good in many cases as a third party reference like in claim of population etc. But in this case, church references are IMPORTANT. This church had been referred by many names in past. But in 2002, Church declared in its constitution that this church name is "Jacobite Syrian Christian Church" without any doubt . Wikipedia can not take a deviation here for one editor's POV unless the editor is not proving otherwise. Please see below the links from church publication website:
Since some editors here are big fans of Court Orders, I am providing link to a court document (in 2013):
Media/newspaper references are also important. if it is in one newspaper we can ignore it. But if all of them refers the church in same way we can not ignore that !! Requesting everyone to check the news on one recent incident related to Jacobite church: Please search in Google with the keywords "Priyanka Chopra" and "Jacobite Syrian Christian Church" including quotes and again with "Priyanka Chopra" and "Malankara Jacobite Syrian Orthodox Church" including quotes- ADMINS can easily find out the fact that "Jacobite Syrian Christian Church" is the common name using for referring the church.

Sorry, Totally against this proposal. Reason is: it's a POV edit/proposal from one User. There is a high chance tomorrow another user will come and propose a different name Malankara Jacobite Syriac Orthodox Church or some other name using a different combination of the terms Malankara, Jacobite, Orthodox, Syrian, Syriac, Nasrani, India, East etc. Wikipedia is not encouraging POV edits. Also similar proposals will come up in other Kerala churches articles too if we take a deviation here. For example, in Syro-Malabar Catholic Church there is a demand from individuals including priests that the present name is a misnomer and it need to be changed as "Mar Thoma Nazrani Church". Similar case with Malankara Orthodox Syrian Church, many forums in the church wanted to change the name officially as "Indian Orthodox Church". All of them come to Wikipedia with these kind of name change proposals, we can not agree with that. We have to use official name of the church as the the title of Wiki article including this church.

First line of current version of this article is that The Malankara Jacobite Syrian Orthodox Church aka Malankara Syriac Orthodox Church commonly and erroneously referred to as Jacobites.

If use common sense , we could understand that the church preferred to use the derogatory erroneous name Jacobite as it's official name because it is popular and easily recognizable. Hence it is stated commonly/popularly and erroneously called as Jacobites. The usage of Jacobite for this church is an error, how ever even though it is an error they use it because it is popular.

I am a jacobite and the history as told to me by fathers/priests in our parishes is that during the time long ago when christianity was at its nacent stage, christian were very much persecuted for being christians and at that time Bishop Jacob (presumably Jacob Bardaeus) was jailed and pretty much all christian priests were killed. Since the rite of becoming a priest in line of St. Peter continues only by putting ones hand on the one who is to be consecrteated as a priest and no other person could simply declare anyone priest, christianity was at the grave danger of being finished. but during his time in jail when ever people come to visit this bishop he would simply put his hand on the head of his faithfull visitor and consecreate him as priest so that the christian faith would continue in his subject. such was his devotion to christianity.
When did we came to be called as jacobites thats a confusion it was either since long ago, or after the koonan cross oath event or after some judicial order resulting the split of saint thomas christians. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 117.238.8.105 ( talk) 16:54, 19 March 2014 (UTC)

I was trying to do some copyedits to the above article and found this odd sentence The Church has dioceses and churches in most parts of India as well as in the USA, Canada, United Kingdom, Western Europe, and the Persian Gulf nations. A Church can't have churches!
Of course a Church can have churches ! The Roman Catholic Church has churches all over the world. The Church of England has churches all over England. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, and the Seventh Day Adventist Church, both have churches in many countries. The paradox arises because "church" has two different meanings --- a Christian organisation, OR a building used for Christian services. See foe example the Concise Oxford Dictionary : church 1. a building used for public Christian worship. 2. a particular Christian orgaisation with its own distinctive doctrines. (Also 3, which means basically the whole Christian religion taken together)
I think the editor means parishes. Do Jacobites call them parish? I have inserted hidden text with that question there and if it is fixed can the editor please remove the inserted text. Cheers Wiki San Roze †αLҝ 09:27, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

The Patriarch fraction is known as
Jacobite Syrian Orthodox Church, and the Catholicos fraction as
Malankara Orthodox Syrian Church. An Independent Orthodox Church body also exists since 1772 AD by name,
Malabar Independent Syrian Church, which is not in communion either with the Patriarch or Catholicos.
Majority of the Orthodox christians in India,including me, accept the Patriarch of Antioch as the Spiritual leader, and Catholicos of East as the autocephelous head. Similar to the situation in Georgia, where Georgians accept the Catholicos of Georgia as their autocephelous head and Ecumenical Patriarch of Constantinople as the Spiritual head.
The Malankara orthodox church have autocephelous head. The Jacobite syrian christian church are branch of syriac orthodox church. As per constitution of Malankara orthodox church, they don't have patriarch or any relation between syriac orthodox church because of constitution says "The Malankara orthodox church shall not recognize the Patriach, canonically consecrated with the co-operation of catholicos"(Constitution of Malankara orthodox). The Jacobite Syrian Christian have only relation between syriac orthodox church and Jacobite syrian church together and continue under the throne of Antioch.

The Jacobite Syrian Christian Church website gives the following information.
[1] THE FOUNDING OF CHURCH
Who established the church in India? People belonging to every Christian denomination of Kerala, in one voice would answer St. Thomas. Syrian Orthodox Church also believes so, St.Thomas reached Kodungallur by ship in AD 52. The widely accepted tradition is that St. Thomas visited various places and baptized many Jews and Hindus and thus began the process of establishing the Church. Middle east countries and Kerala had trade relations during the early centuries. So it may not have been difficult for St. Thomas to reach the coasts of Kerala.
[2] CHURCH IN INDIA
St. Thomas, one of the twelve apostles of Jesus Christ, is the founder of the ancient Church in India. Christian writers and historians from the 4th century refer to the evangelistic work of Apostle Thomas in India, and the Indian Christians ascribe the origin of their Church to the labors of the apostle in the 1st century. 117.202.114.86 ( talk) 19:36, 12 February 2013 (UTC)

Users like Roshyf2 & Iravikorthanan are continuously making impulse moves and changes in the article with out any proper reference. Also they edit Wikipedia in a way to confuse readers that Marthoma church is the true successor church of the Malankara church forgetting the facts in references which says Marthoma church got separated from Malankara church in 1889 with results of Anglican reformation. Also argues with unnecessary claims like Marthoma Church is another Malankara Church. Here I want to make it clear that Malankara Church is an Oriental Orthodox Church , however Marthoma church is an Anglican Reformed church got legally separated from Malankara church in 1889 with the Travancore Royal Court verdict which declared that the Reformist faction in the Malankara church has NO rights spiritually or temporally in the existing Malankara Church. The Reformists organised as a new independent church called Reformed Syrian church. After the death of Thomas Mar Athanasius, they adopted a new name for the church called Marthoma Syrian Church of Malabar. They cannot claim any spiritual or temporal lineage of the Malankara Church. Iravikorthanan and Roshyf2 knowingly or unknowingly want to hide this fact and want to project that Marthoma church is another Malankara church to confuse wiki readers.

Orthodox Syrian Church ( Syrian Orthodox church) is erroneously called as Jacobites. So the Malankara Church is also erroneously called as Jacobites. Please see the third clause of the constitution which states that [3]The ancient and the real name of the Malankara Church is the Malankara Orthodox Syrian Church although it is also wrongly called ‘The Jacobite Church’, for the same reason for which the Orthodox Syrian Church has been also called so.
So what is the problem with Malankara usage ? It says Malankara Church was also erroneously called as Jacobite Church. That means Malankara Church is restricted to the Jacobite Church(Orthodox&Jacobite).

Court Findings
In A.D. 37 Apostolic See at Antioch was established by St. Peter to whom the stewardship of Church was entrusted by Lord Jesus Christ. It took root in Kerala within 20 years of the epoch making events in Jerusalem, the crucifixion, resurrection and ascension of the Lord Jesus Christ. St. Thomas, one of the 12 apostles of Jesus Christ visited India in A.D. 51/52 and established 7 Churches in the Malayalam speaking parts of South India. They are known as Malankara Jacobite (or orthodox) Syrian Church, "Malankara" means "Malayalam speaking" `The two Syrian Orthodox Churches in Syria and India, along with the Egyptian (Coptic), Ethiopian, and Armenian Churches, belong to the group of Ancient, or Oriental Orthodox, Churches, wrongly called "monophysite".

Please read the Supreme court of India verdict----- The most sensitive issue which has been subject of great debate in this Court was posed as Question No.18, "Has the Malankara Church become an autocephalous church?
and it was answered against the respondent by recording the finding:- Most. Rev. P.M.A. Metropolitan & ... vs Moran Mar Marthoma & Anr on 20 June, 1995 Indian Kanoon - http://indiankanoon.org/doc/634316/ 25
"We, therefore, hold that the Malankara Church is not an autocephalous church but is a part or division of the world Orthodox Syrian Church and set aside the finding of learned single judge that the Catholicos group has now established an autoceohalous church. We hold that while Patriarch of Antioch is the head of the World Orthodox Syrian church, Catholicos of the East who is subject to the Constitution is head of the Malankara Church and the relationship between Patriarchate and the Malankara Church is governed by the provisions of the Constitution."
This was the finding recorded in Moran Mar Basselios (supra) as well. It has not been challenged, therefore, it has become final. Phantom ( talk) 13:27, 15 July 2016 (UTC)
I don't want to confuse anybody. I just quoted the 1932 constitution of Malankara Orthodox Syrian Church and 1995 Supreme court of India verdict in Malankara Church case to show that Jacobite Syrian church is a Malankara Church or Malankara branch of the Syriac Orthodox church of Antioch. If you simply say Jacobite church it means Syriac Orthodox church of Antioch. If you say Malankara Jacobite you mean Jacobite christian in India. So Malankara Jacobite Syrian Orthodox Church is a good title to describe the Indian branch of the Syriac Orthodox Church. Also please see the references I quoted for the names in the Article.Thanks Phantom ( talk) 13:47, 16 July 2016 (UTC)
Wikipedia doesn't necessarily use the legal name, instead use the commonly recognized name as title of an article. Also consider reliable third party references . Hence use the most popular and easily recognized name as the title. If we use Jacobite, Malankara should come in front of it because in English wiki, readers are from different parts of the world. It would be easier for them to identify it as an Indian branch of the Jacobite church. Phantom ( talk) 20:14, 16 July 2016 (UTC) Phantom ( talk) 20:14, 16 July 2016 (UTC)

@Kokkarani, now let us discuss first on the references provided by me. For me, it proves "Jacobite Syrian Christian Church" is the official name and the one in usage also. I request you to provide similar proofs for the current title "Malankara Jacobite Syrian Orthodox Church". Thanks in Advance - 59.95.67.190 ( talk) 03:07, 18 July 2016 (UTC)
I am also convinced that the legal/official name of the church in discussion is 'Jacobite Syrian Christian Church'. However the article title in Wikipedia might not necessarily be the same. The most common and easily recognizable name is preferred. In that sense I prefer Malankara Syrian Orthodox Church . However this title got confused with Malankara Orthodox Syrian Church. Actually Jacobite is a derogatory term like Nestorian. (Jacobite-followers of Jacob Baradaeus; Nestorian-followers of Nestorius). The church in discussion uses this derogatory name as its official name. I just explained it before that they do it because it is popular and easily distinguishable from the Malankara Orthodox Syrian Church. So in my opinion, Malankara Jacobite Syrian Orthodox Church is the apt title .
The term "Jacobite" was not even their own choice, but was given to them by their Greek Orthodox rivals. They readily accepted it, however. Read more: http://www.everyculture.com/Africa-Middle-East/Jacobites-History-and-Cultural-Relations.html#ixzz4EjY5s8vl
Thus, the church was called Jacob-ites by other Chalcedonian churches to insinuate that the church was new body that formed under Jacob Baradaeus rather than the direct continuation of the Syriac Orthodox Church and the Patriarchate of Antioch.- see the NAME part of this article. Phantom ( talk) 05:36, 18 July 2016 (UTC)
About the statement The term "Jacobite" was not even their own choice, but was given to them by their Greek Orthodox rivals. Yes, I agree, this was true in 6th century. But in 2002, it was own choice of holy
episcopal synod of Jacobite Church.
Then why we need to discuss here whether the term Jacobite is erroneous/derogatory?? Wikipedia should use the official name as title. Again, I want to reiterate the fact "Jacobite Syrian Orthodox Christian Church" is not only a official or legal name of the church but also the common name referred since June 2002 (once the church constitution formed).
Please see below articles from different newspapers. In all theses articles the church is referred as Jacobite Syrian Orthodox Church Jacobite Syrian Christian Church. All are recent news on the Church
You can confirm this by Google-News Search by giving "Jacobite Syrian Orthodox Church" "Jacobite Syrian Christian Church". But if you try with current title of this wiki article ("Malankara Jacobite Syrian Orthodox Church") you may not even get a single news article after June 2002. !! -

As I stated earlier Malabar/Malankara Jacobite should be distinguished from the Jacobites. Simply Jacobite means Syrian Orthodox Church of Antioch. So in order to avoid confusion Malankara be used. More over if we read the history, we know this church is called Malankara church. Phantom ( talk) 16:41, 18 July 2016 (UTC)
Dear Cuchullain, Please note, the IP edits are NOT from Iravikorthanan. I am a different user. Accidentally we both are supporting "Request Move". If you can count the IP edits as one vote, pls do otherwise pls consider them as comments from an anonymous user. By the way,are we going to take decision based on just votes? or based on the evidences/proofs/references providing by both the sides?? I think I have given enough evidences for Admins to verify the "actual" name of the church (Jacobite Syrian Christian Church). Even Iravikorthanan has also provided some evidences. Unfortunately User:Kokkarani has not provided any evidences for his stand , rather he talks about court's verdict in church case in 1995 or about constitution of a different church or about the history of the term Jacobites which are not having any relevance in this matter - 59.95.66.123 ( talk) 16:56, 18 July 2016 (UTC)

Malankara Jacobite Syrian church existed from 1665 as Oriental Orthodox church in different names at different points of time. All are the same church- Malankara Syrian Church Please see the preface in Malankara church.
The Malankara Church is a church of the Saint Thomas Christians of Kerala, India, with particular emphasis on the part of the community that joined Archdeacon Mar Thoma in swearing to resist the authority of the Portuguese Padroado in 1653. This faction soon entered into a relationship with the Syriac Orthodox Church of Antioch, and was thereafter often known as the Malankara Syrian Church.(Gregorios & Roberson, p. 285.; Vadakkekara, p. 91.) Malankara Syrian Church means Malankara Syrian Orthodox church. Mandrake_the_Magician ( talk) 04:10, 19 July 2016 (UTC)
Sorry I am not distorting any facts, however I present these facts for your consideration.
1) ( Marthoma 1 who was the Archdeacon of the entire st thomas Christians was elevated as Marthoma in 1653 by an indigenous tradition of laying hands of 12 priests.)
No. There was no such indigenous tradition of ordination of a bishop. This was an emergency step as there were no bishops available to ordinate him as a bishop. Marthoma knew this ordination was not canonical. He could not submit any valid canonical document in front of the King to prove his ordination is valid. Even now we know that some priests together couldn't ordain a bishop. So we accept that the ordination was not regular.
2) ( However the jesuits and carmalites propagated a theory that the consecration practiced Among St Thomas Christians is invalid.)
They didn't propagate a theory, however they just took advantage of the fact that the ordination was not proper; and people believed it. Catholics could reclaim a large people to their fold.
3) (This prompted the St thomas christians and Mar Thoma I to write letters to different see's which st thomas christians have historic fraternity. They wrote letters to Church of East, Church Of Alexandria, Church of Antioch. The Patriarch bishop of Jerusalem (whether he is a Jacobite??) heard the plea and he came over Malankara to consecrate Marthoma 1 with proper apostolic validity in 1665.)
The Syriac Orthodox Bishop of Jerusalem Gregorios Abdal Jaleel regularized the consecration of Mar Thoma I in 1665 and they forged a relationship each other.
4) (There is no reference that the church became under church of Antioch or any other because of this act. Mar Thoma Christians followed the same old chaldean east syriac tradition.If instead of a Jacobite prelate if an alexandrian or armenian prelate came in 1665 whether church would have been under them)
You may check when the Chaldean church was formed. It was formed only in the 16th century AD. What you mean by the East Syrian tradition? Is it Nestorian? or Chaldean? Whether Malankara church came under the authority of the Syrian church or not, it adopted Oriental Orthodox faith from Mar Gregorios Abdal Jaleel. Hence the rival faction, the Catholics called them Puthenkoor Syrians showing their new loyalty. This itself is a good reference that the Malankara church adopted Oriental Orthodox faith from 1665.

If you have any complaint about the diagram as you mentioned, it should be discussed there. Please don't divert the matter of this discussion saying this and that. Thanks Mandrake_the_Magician ( talk) 01:22, 20 July 2016 (UTC)
As I have given enough independent reliable published references, I request the the present name (Malankara Jacobite Syrian Orthodox Church) to be kept. Also please note that my opponent/opponents only produced some news paper references. Thanks Mandrake_the_Magician ( talk) 03:13, 20 July 2016 (UTC)
NO, Coonan cross Oath was in 1653 & Regularization of Marthoma was in 1665. It took only 12 years. The faction who was loyal to Marthoma was called Malankara Church and the other faction was called Roman Catholic church. However in 1665 Marthoma forged a relationship with Greorios Abdal Jaleel and accepted Kaiveppu(traditional apostolic succession). Thus the learned historians say that they accepted new loyalty or Puthen koor. It is at this point the rival faction started calling them Puthen koor Syrians. The term Syrian is associated with the Syrian church, not with the language they use. If it was with the language they use , then they should have been called Syriac Christian. Chaldean church was called Chaldean. East Syrian Church was called Nestorian. Monophysite church was called Syrian. Those monophysites who united with the catholic church are called Syrian Catholics(middle east, not in India)
Jacobite church is definitely a Malankara Church , the other being Malankara Orthodox Syrian Church.(Both are Malankara branch of the Syrian Orthodox church of Antioch).

Dear User:Kokkarani(aka Phantom and Mandrake the Magician), many of your above arguments are highly debatable. I can say its extreme Jacobite biased version of Kerala Church History. Anyway, lets come to the point - What is the ACTUAL name of this church? You said:As I have given enough independent reliable published references.....my opponent/opponents only produced some news paper references, Did you not see links of Jacobite church constitution, Official Website, SOC Patriarch's & Regional Head (Catholicos)'s pastoral messages which I shared above? "independent reliable published references" are good in many cases as a third party reference like in claim of population etc. But in this case, church references are IMPORTANT. This church had been referred by many names in past. But in 2002, Church declared in its constitution that this church name is "Jacobite Syrian Christian Church" without any doubt . Wikipedia can not take a deviation here for one editor's POV unless the editor is not proving otherwise. Please see below the links from church publication website:
Since some editors here are big fans of Court Orders, I am providing link to a court document (in 2013):
Media/newspaper references are also important. if it is in one newspaper we can ignore it. But if all of them refers the church in same way we can not ignore that !! Requesting everyone to check the news on one recent incident related to Jacobite church: Please search in Google with the keywords "Priyanka Chopra" and "Jacobite Syrian Christian Church" including quotes and again with "Priyanka Chopra" and "Malankara Jacobite Syrian Orthodox Church" including quotes- ADMINS can easily find out the fact that "Jacobite Syrian Christian Church" is the common name using for referring the church.

Sorry, Totally against this proposal. Reason is: it's a POV edit/proposal from one User. There is a high chance tomorrow another user will come and propose a different name Malankara Jacobite Syriac Orthodox Church or some other name using a different combination of the terms Malankara, Jacobite, Orthodox, Syrian, Syriac, Nasrani, India, East etc. Wikipedia is not encouraging POV edits. Also similar proposals will come up in other Kerala churches articles too if we take a deviation here. For example, in Syro-Malabar Catholic Church there is a demand from individuals including priests that the present name is a misnomer and it need to be changed as "Mar Thoma Nazrani Church". Similar case with Malankara Orthodox Syrian Church, many forums in the church wanted to change the name officially as "Indian Orthodox Church". All of them come to Wikipedia with these kind of name change proposals, we can not agree with that. We have to use official name of the church as the the title of Wiki article including this church. As I said before its not just a name which is in papers. This is the name commonly using since June 2002. --- 45.126.205.206 ( talk) 01:45, 22 July 2016 (UTC)

First line of current version of this article is that The Malankara Jacobite Syrian Orthodox Church aka Malankara Syriac Orthodox Church commonly and erroneously referred to as Jacobites.

If use common sense , we could understand that the church preferred to use the derogatory erroneous name Jacobite as it's official name because it is popular and easily recognizable. Hence it is stated commonly/popularly and erroneously called as Jacobites. The usage of Jacobite for this church is an error, how ever even though it is an error they use it because it is popular.

Jacobite Syrian church is a integral branch of Syriac orthodox church also known as Syriac orthodox church of India. Malankara orthodox church is a independent church when they accept saint Thomas apostle is founder of church but Jacobite Syrian church believe as per tradition of Syriac orthodox church. Now, The Malankara orthodox church doesn't accept the lineage of Patriach of Syrian orthodox because As per constitution of Malankara orthodox church "The Malankara orthodox church shall not recognize the Patriach, canonically consecrated with the co-operation of catholicos"(Constitution of Malankara orthodox). The Jacobite Syrian Christian follow continue as under the Patriach of Antioch, They are called Malankara Syrian Church( Jacobite Syrian Church). Robyrajan916 ( talk) 12:38, 19 December 2017 (UTC)
After the Coonan cross oath the church divided into two, one is under Catholic Church other is under Syriac orthodox church. The first Bishop of Malankara syrian church is Mar Thoma I by Gregorios Abdal Jaleel and to be last Malankara Bishop consecrated by Syriac orthodox Church. Some of Bishops seperated from Syrian orthodox church in India, establish two different churches is also known as Marthoma Syrian Church and Malankara Orthodox Church. After the establish of Catholicos of the East by Ex-Patriach Ignatius Abded Mshiho II, The Malankara Orthodox Church accept the new throne of thomas apostle and disagreed Shalmusa [2] of Syriac orthodox church and to be independent, The one and only church that is Jacobite syrian church under the throne of Syriac orthodox church and follow old tradition.

Malankara Church or Malankara Syrian Church is now an umbrella name which includes many churches. There had been splits happened in Malankara Church and today many churches like Malankara Orthodox, Jacobite Syrian, Marthoma and Malankara Catholic church share the lineage of Malankara Church. In this case, not sure on what basis some user made this merge proposal. Hence removing the invalid merging proposal.

Does any reader who notices the subtle difference between Malankara Orthodox Syrian Church and Malankara Syrian Orthodox Church win some kind of reward? Since the second one is a redirect to this article, which is properly titled with the church's official denomination, why is that redirect so? It's very confusing.
By the way, both articles are extremely vague or even reticent, in their History sections, about the 1911 dispute that started the split between Orthodox and Jacobite churches, which is better described here. -- 176.247.145.53 ( talk) 17:21, 14 July 2021 (UTC)
