His Holiness the Pope has appointed an Auxiliary to Archbishop Mar Ivanios of Trivandrum, India, who has been ailing for the past several months. The new Auxiliary is Monsignor Benedict Verghese, of the Congregation of the Imitation of Christ, Vice Principal of the Trivandrum University of Mar Ivanios. The 36-year-old priest has been named Titular Bishop of Antarados.
Archbishop Ivanios, who was given the last rites early in September, came over to the Catholic Church in 1930 from the Jacobite Schismatic Church when he was already an Archbishop. Archbishop Ivanios has made extensive tours of Australia, the United States, and Canada.
