Kochi: The collective of priests and nuns 'Forum' countered against the show cause notice sent by Syro-Malabar Church to Fr. Augustine Vattoli for supporting the protest by nuns. In a letter to the Church by Forum, Apostolic Administrator Jacob Manathodath questioned how a gesture of supporting a rape victim affects the reputation of the Church. The collective alleged that the show cause notice is an attempt to silence good efforts and asked the Church to withdraw the notice.
