	St Raphael Syro Malabar - History
		The Coonan Cross Oath in 1653 at the Church of Our Lady of Life in Mattanchery was the culmination of several years of latinization by the Portuguese, and the crowd gathered there took an oath that they would not be subject to the Portuguese Archbishop of Goa, Francis Garcia.
		After the Oath 12 priests at the instigation of one of them laid hands on the head of the Archdeacon and "ordained him Bishop".
		Those faithful who remained in communion of Pope after the Coonan Cross Oath later were referred to as the Syro-Malabarian Christians, the name apparently to avoid confusion with the Malabar rite which existed as a part of the Latin Church in the Coromandel coast of India.

		On that day they, our ancestors,took an oath, stating that, "they or their descendants to come in the ages will have nothing to do with the Roma church or its Pope".
