Pope John Paul II has raised India's Syro-Malankara Catholic Church to the rank of a major archiepiscopal church, naming Cyril Mar Baselios, Archbishop of Trivandrum, as the church’s first major archbishop.

The Mother Church of the Malankara Catholic Communities in the big cities of India is Malankara Catholic Church.

Mar Ivanios, then a Bishop in the Jacobite Church and Founder of Bethany Congregations, entered into the Universal Communion of the Catholic Church on September 20th, 1930. This Ecclesial event marked the bieth of a new oriental Catholic Church of the Antiochean Liturgical Family.
