Catholic Church leaders are up in arms against a government ordinance in India s Kerala state, saying it infringes on their constitutional right to manage educational institutions.
“The new ordinance will adversely affect the functioning of colleges we fund and manage in the state,” said Archbishop Andrews Thazath, chairman of the public affairs commission of the Eastern-rite Syro-Malabar Church.
