125. What did the Coonan Cross Oath achieve for the Malankara Church?
a)

Freedom from Roman control and independence of faith
The Coonan Cross Oath was a declaration by the Malankara Church that they would no longer submit to the authority of the Roman Catholic bishops who were enforcing Latin practices

b)

It brought the Malankara Church fully under Roman Catholic leadership.
This makes it sound like the oath accepted Roman authority, but the truth is the opposite — the oath was taken against Roman intervention.

c)

It replaced the Syrian traditions with Latin rituals in all churches.
This suggests the Malankara Church adopted Western liturgical practices, whereas the oath was meant to protect their Syrian heritage, not replace it.

d)

It united all Kerala Christians into a single church under one bishop.
This may sound positive, but it is historically incorrect — the oath actually marked a major separation, not a unification.
