Like his predecessor\, he was from Pakalomattom family & was consecrated by Mo r Ivanios Hidayathulla the delegate of the Holy Apostolic See of Antioch t o Malankara. Mar Thoma IV was consecrated in 1688\, and would govern the M alankara Church for around 40 years. \n\nA major portion of his reign was spent in dealing with the conniving "Mar Gabriel" from the "Nestorian" "Ch urch of the East" who tried to take advantage of the spiritual rebuilding process occurring in Malankara as a fallout from the events of the previou s centuries. Mar Gabriel\, a staunch Nestorian\, came in the early 1700s t o Malankara and first began spreading his heresy by pretending to be on th e side of the Roman Catholics (even making a Catholic profession of faith) \, but was soon exposed by them. He later made a profession of Orthodox fa ith to Mar Thoma IV\, but rescinded and began preaching heresy again\, for which he was rightfully expelled. Unfortunately\, individuals with person al rivalries against Mar Thoma IV used this opportunity to undermine his a dministration. They went to Mar Gabriel and gave him support\, but soon le arnt of his unsavory character. In 1720\, Mar Thoma IV sent communication to the mother see of Antioch for assistance. The wording and phrases used by Mar Thoma IV clearly indicate that the Malankara Church was under the a uthority of the Patriarch of Antioch and all the East\, and this was a fir mly held belief. \n\nAfter heroically protecting the Syriac Orthodox faith in Malankara for decades\, Mar Thoma IV departed for the heavenly abode o n March 24th 1728 due to a prolonged illness. His mortal remains were inte rred in St. Mary's Jacobite Syrian Church\, Kandanad. \n\nOh Mar Thoma IV! Plead for us before God's throne of grace. Amen.\n\nhttp://www.syriacchri stianity.info/bio/MorThomaIV.htm LOCATION: END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
