Cette Succession Apostolique prend ses origins dans le Patriarcat d’Antioche et est la même jusqu’ à IGNACE PIERRE III en 1872.
The source skips printed sequence number 141; sequence numbers are preserved.
First sheet: two parallel numbered blocks, read down the left block (1–50), then down the right block (51–100).
NOTA: En 1930, deux Evêques Syro-Malabarre, Mgr IVANIC et Mgr TEOFILO se soumirent à ROME.Ils furent autorisés à continuer d’exercer leur Ministère episcopal. Leur successionest très valide puisqu’ils fondèrent l’Eglise UNIATE de Rite Syro-Malabarre. Durant son passage à Bombay, S.S. Paul VI assista à la Sainte Messe des Rites Syro-Malabarre et Syro-Malankar.

A SHARED INHERITANCE
Authority to serve.
Mysteries for every Christian.
Our successions support the work of restoration and sacramental ministry. They do not make the Christian Mysteries the property of any one church.
These Mysteries are the spiritual inheritance of every Christian, regardless of church or denomination. Participation does not require leaving your existing church.
