Cardinal Cleemis Recalls Pope Francis' Affection for India, Calls It a Great Country
The Business Guardian
|April 22, 2025
Major Archbishop of Trivandrum of the Syro-Malankara Catholic Church, Cardinal Baselois Cleemis Thottunkal, on Monday, condoled the demise of Pope Francis, whom he recalled often expressed his affection for India.
The Cardinal, who is also President of the Synod of the Syro-Malankara Church, told ANI, "Let me express our heartfelt condolences and prayer for solidarity as Pope Francis has passed away."
"As the leader of the Church and entire humanity, especially a champion of the people who are at the periphery, he stood firm in re-reading the gospel, trying to find our Jesus and his approaches towards human beings, focusing on those marginalized...I personally recall with gratitude that after his meeting with the Prime Minister of India, Pope Francis told me that your country is a great country. Such an affection he had in his mind for India..." Cardinal Cleemis said.
"Pope Francis became a leader for those outside the mainstream -- an embodiment of exemplary dedication. I have had the opportunity to know him personally since 2013. He held deep respect for Indian culture and led with a unique and inspiring approach. He worked as a symbol of unity in society," Cardinal Clemis added.
