Bishop Mar Bawai Soro

[xnicksomox]

Guys I really have no idea what happened here. He was an Assyrian Church of the East Bishop in San Diego, California. I don't know why he did, but he switched to the Chaldean Catholic Church. After he and some Assyrian families did this, he was charged with multiple things and excommunicated from the Church of the East. Can anyone explain first of all, why he switched, and also why he was unjustly charged and excommunicated.

Nick khon, this is a page that we turned long time ago. It is a dark page which I am not sure a lot of people would want to discuss because it brings nothing but problems and divisions.

In any case, I will leave this thread here for now, but may have to remove it later. Nothing against you posting this topic, it is just the nature of the discussion.

If you google his name, you will find lots of topics about him (maybe on Assyrian Voice too)

I tried but it was a bunch of retarded things that don't tell me anything. I just want to know why he switched in the first place and why he was charged and excommunicated.

Nick you are the new avn troll, you know exactly what happen. You come to this forum to only cause trouble.

How bout I'm not supposed to swear to God, but I swear to God that I have no idea what happened.

Long story short, he wanted to reform the Assyrian Church of the East [he was a member of ACOE and had studied in Rome] while the ACOE didn't want to change a thing and wanted to maintain their traditional ways. Those former ACOE members that supported Soro joined his cause and eventually "converted" and joined the Catholic/Chaldean Church after Soro lost a court battle against the ACOE over church property. He was using ACOE's church property to conduct mass and so on when he was asked to cease, if I remember correctly.

Short and sweet.
But not sweet, actually vile since his emergence on the church scene caused families to split, etc.

Ohh ok I see. And sorry if this is ignorant, but don't we have like the exact same liturgy, just different beliefs? Why would it matter that he was conducting mass?

 

[Free_Assyria]

Why have you posted two topics about the same subject in different sections?
If you are legit about your concerns and they are religious it shouldn?t be discussed here.

 

[xnicksomox]

Only because I didn't know where the topic belongs. You just have to make everything seem like an attack.

Splitting....it's a 'Roman' thing.  They might have commitment issues.
