A section of priests has formed a body to bring in transparency in the activities of Ernakulam-Angamali Archdiocese.

The formation of ‘Archdiocese Movement for Transparency’ is part of a move to expose those involved in the ‘shady’ deal in the sale of church land, including Archbishop Cardinal Mar George Alencherry.

The first meeting of the association, formed with the backing of the faithfuls, was held on Friday.The meeting decided “not to tolerate” any priest or bishop who work against the interest of the church.

“A huge amount of money was lost because of the land deal. It cannot be kept under wraps.It is the money of the faithfuls,” they said.
