He is affectionately known as Valiyathirumeni. Paulose was b orn to Mathai Thekkekkara &\; Annamma. At the age of 7\, as an Altar bo y he read the 5th Thubden in the presence of late Patriarch Mor Ignatius P eter IV at Ankamaly Church. He studied theology under Mor Coorilos Geevarg hese Ambatt who would ordain him as Quroyo on 21st April 1879. He would co mplete higher studies &\; become a school teacher.St. Gregorios Geevarg hese Chathuruthil of Parumala (assisted by Mor Dionysius V &\; Mor Atha nasius Paulose Kadavil I) ordained deacon Paulose as Qashisho on 25th Nove mber 1898. He would be elevated to the rank of Raban 3 days later. Kochupa ulose Raban would be consecrated bishop with the title Athanasius by late Patriarch Mor Ignatius Abde d-Aloho II Sattuf on 9th June 1910 at Mor Sabo r-Mor Aphroth Church Akaparambu. A year later\, Mor Athanasius Paulose par ticipated in the consecration of the Holy Chrism at Mulunthuruthy Church. Following the autocratic style of functioning &\; his disobedience of C hurch laws\, Mor Dionysius Geevarghese Vattasseril the Malankara Metropoli tan was excommunicated by Patriarch Abdullah. (the excommunication would b e later lifted by St. Ignatius Elias III Patriarch). St. Coorilos Paulose Kochuparambil who was Malankara Metropolitan for 6 years passed away in 19 17. The Malankara Association held at Thrikunnath Seminary elected Mor Ath anasius Paulose as the next Malankara Metropolitan. In 1919 he formed the Malankara Sunday School Association &\; in 1922 he formed the Mar Grego rios Syrian Vidhyarthi Sangam' (Mar Gregorios Syrian Students Association - M.G.S.S.A). This was the first ever students organization that adopted t he name of St. Gregorios of Parumala. The other major spiritual organizati ons founded by Valiyathirumeni were the ‘Brotherhood of St. Antonios’ &\; the ‘St. Mary’s Sisterhood’. He nurtured both the organizatio ns with the aim of building a solid foundation for the monastic movement i n Malankara. He also encouraged much on the development of a centre for th eological studies at Thrikunnath Seminary.Mor Athanasius led the last rite s of St. Osthatheos Sleebo Abakar the delegate of the Apostolic See of Ant ioch following his demise in 1930. When Patriarch St. Ignatius Elias III c ame to Malankara\, Mor Athanasius accompanied the Patriarch throughout his stay. The Patriarch visited India to strive for peace in the Malankara Sy rian Church. Several meetings were held within this period with the aim of achieving long standing peace &\; the Patriarch had even withdrawn the excommunication of Mor Dionysius. However the rebellious attitude &\; unilateral decisions of the schismatics only further divided the Church in Malankara. Sadly\, St. Ignatius Elias III passed away before he could com plete his mission of bringing about peace to the Church. Mor Athanasius al ong with the Patriarchal Delegate Mor Yulios Elias Qoro &\; the bishops of Malankara conducted the last rites at Dayro d-Mor Ignatius Manjinikkar a. The Malankara Suriyani Kristhiani Association meeting held at Karingach ira Church in 1935 once again reaffirmed Mor Athanasius Paulose as the Mal ankara Metropolitan. He would diligently serve the Church\, protecting it during one of the most difficult periods in history. After serving the Hol y Church faithfully for decades\, Mor Athanasius Paulose reposed in the Lo rd on January 25th 1953 at the age of 84. Thousands of faithful thronged t o participate in his last rites. He was entombed according to his will at Thrikunnath Seminary Aluva. The Malankara Church was fortunate &\; bles sed to have Mor Athanasius Paulose as its Metropolitan for 42 years. Under his able guidance\, the Church overcame many adverse situations. Unflinch ing faith &\; relentless prayers were his greatest strengths. Known for his piety\, integrity\, sincerity &\; unceasing devotion to God\, the spiritual father is remembered by the Malankara Church with great venerati on. Valiyathirumeni loved his people &\; defended the faith until his l ast breath\, leaving behind a magnificent saintly legacy. Like his predece ssors\, Mor Athanasious too was steadfast in upholding the pledge he gave to the Patriarch of Antioch and all the East at the time of his consecrati on. In recognition of his great efforts in upholding the true Apostolic fa ith &\; traditions of the Holy Church\, Patriarch Mor Ignatius Aphrem I Barsoum conferred upon Mor Athanasius Paulose the title ‘Defender of th e True Faith' (Sathya Viswasa Samrakshakan). Half a century after his repo se\, in 2004 vis Patriarchal Apostolic Bull No. E 218/04\; the late Patria rch of Antioch and all the East HH Moran Mor Ignatius Zakka I Iwas of bles sed memory declared Mor Athanasius Paulose as a saint of the Syriac Orthod ox Church.
