'This is intolerance too', groom facing the wrath of Kerala Church lashes out
He says, "To all the people who think that intolerance is only for Hindus and Muslims, this may be an eye opener. Christians are catching up."
The Controversy
Thekkiniyath Raphael, a resident of Thrissur district, approached the District Magistrate court in 2013 stating that the high-decibel fireworks being organized as part of the church feast by Ollur St Antony's Forane Church will damage his house. Following this, the apex court allowed the church to use fireworks, as it contended that it was part of a long tradition. However, Raphael approached the court again in October 2014 after his house was damaged by the fireworks, and the case is still pending.
The controversy took a new turn with his son Sanju Raphael speaking out on how the Church was allegedly arm-twisting his family to withdraw the case. Sanju took to Facebook to explain how the church and parishioners were threatening that his wedding slated to happen in January 2016 would not have the blessings of the Church and parish priest.
