abstract
  • Born in Manimala, Kerala, Antony Padiyara studied at St. Peter's Regional Seminary in Bangalore and was ordained to the priesthood on December 19, 1945. He was incardinated into the Latin Rite Diocese of Coimbatore, where he served as curate at Kodiyeri and pastor at Kollegal and Ootacamund between 1946 and 1952. He became rector of the minor seminary in 1952 and a professor at St. Peter's Regional Seminary in 1954. On July 3, 1955, Padiyara was appointed Bishop of Ootacamund by Pope Pius XII. He received his episcopal consecration on the following October 16 from Bishop RenĂ©-Jean-Baptiste-Germain Feuga, with Bishop Francis Xavier Muthappa and Archbishop Matthew Kavukattu serving as co-consecrators. After attending the Second Vatican Council from 1962 to 1965, Padiyara returned to the Syro-Malabar Rite upon being promoted to Archbishop of Changanassery on June 14, 1970. He was elected Vice President of the Indian Episcopal Conference (1976), President of the Kerala Catholic Bishops Council (1983), and President of the Syro-Malabar Bishops Conference (1984). In one of the acts of his short-lived papacy, Pope John Paul I named him Apostolic Visitor to the Syro-Malabar Catholics in Kerala on September 8, 1978. Padiyara was appointed Archbishop of Ernakulam-Angamaly by Pope John Paul II on April 23, 1985. He was created Cardinal Priest of S. Maria "Regina Pacis" a Monte Verde in the consistory of June 28, 1988. When the Archdiocese of Ernakulam-Angamaly was elevated to the rank of a major archdiocese on December 16, 1992, Padiyara became a Major Archbishop and thus head of the Syro-Malabar Catholic Church. Within the Roman Curia, he was a member of the Congregation for the Oriental Churches and the Pontifical Commission for the Revision of the Code of Oriental Canon Law. After reaching the mandatory retirement age of 75, he resigned as Major Archbishop on November 11, 1996, after eleven years of service. He was awarded the Padma Shri in 1998. He later died at the Cardinal Padiyara Nature Cure Centre in Kakkanad, which he himself had founded, aged 79. He is buried in St. Mary's Cathedral Basilica in Ernakulam.
