Here was material for a pretty quarrel. But the races of South India could not be expected to emulate Teutonic independence. The Syrian opposition to LATER EASTERN CHRISTIANITY 529 Rome was crushed by tlie synod of Dianiper wliicli met two years later (a. D. 1500). The differences between the two bodies were brought to a chmax at this synod, which was convened " for the increase of the Catholic faith among the Syrians in Malabar, " together with the extirpation of heresy and the establishment o...f union under the papacy. Tlie papal party assumed that previous to the Nestorian schism in the fifth century the Syrian Church had been subject to Home. The synod was to put an end to a separation which had lasted for more than a thousand years. Although the Syrians were invited, the synod was domi- nated by Eoman Catholic ecclesiastics, to whose decisions the native Christians were required to submit. It began by denouncing Nestorius and saluting Mary as the " mother of God. " Then it substituted the Roman saints' days for the Nestorian calendar, anathematised the catholicos of IJabylon, established the authority of the pope, ordered moral reforms in the Church, licensed the Jesuits to preach in the Syrian churches, commanded the celibacy of the clergy, and required married priests to dismiss their wives.
