SC ends decades-long conflict in Kerala church citing '17 verdict

A bench comprising justices Surya Kant and Ujjal Bhuyan underscored the importance of adhering to its 2017 judgment, which upheld the validity of the Malankara Orthodox Syrian Church's 1934 constitution to govern the administration of its churches, and voiced disapproval of involving the state government and police to resolve such religious disputes rather than settling them internally.

The Malankara Church first split in 1912 into Jacobite and Orthodox factions. Although the groups reunified briefly in 1959, the truce dissolved in 1972, reigniting disputes over the ownership and administration of over 1,000 churches and their associated properties.

The strangeness of hatred for the Other

To be honest, I'm struggling for the right word. I wouldn't call it inexplicable because that suggests it cannot be explained. Nor would I call it deplorable though if others did, I wouldn't rush to disagree. No, I'd perhaps plump for strange, in the sense of both bizarre and bewildering. But is that the mot juste? I'm not sure.
