Kochi: The Syro-Malabar Almira Forum has said that the new burial ordinance introduced by the government to tackle the recent problems of the dead can be challenged by the constitutional religious freedom. The new law will create problems for Christians, including the Catholic Church. Disputes between the two factions over the death of the dead are painful. It is the right of every believer to be buried in the cemetery of the church he believes in, prayers and practices.
At the same time, it would not be justified to bring the entire church under the purview of the New Testament to overcome such situations. The Catholic Church has a legal system for dead burial. While the country’s legal systems are in place to resolve disputes, the new ordinance is malicious. The new ordinance that gives rise to legislation like the Church Act should be revoked. Advocates forum secretary advocates that legislation is needed to resolve disputes in churches where disputes arise.
