KOCHI: After receiving multiple complaints from a section of the clergy and laity regarding the Syro-Malabar Church synod’s decision to change the mode of celebrating the Holy Mass (from facing the laity to facing the altar), the Holy See at the Vatican responded by sending a letter to the diocese heads. The head of the Oriental Congregation for the Eastern Churches Cardinal Leonardo Sandri sent the missive to each bishop of Syro-Malabar Church. 

According to a Church source, in the letter the Cardinal has requested the local eparchs to submit a report answering a set of questions. The Cardinal has also sought information on the mode of celebration of the Holy Mass in each parish and community of the diocese.
