Reunion?
I would like to know on what basis you claim that Menezes reunited the Syrian church to the Romans.Among the descendants of those Syrian Christians who swore never to fall under Roman subjugation at the 'Koonan Kurisu Satyagraha' Menezes is considered the vilest and most hated villian in the history of Syrian Christianity.Before the Portugese arrived, there is no solid evidence of the Syrian Malabar church being in communion with Rome, despite claims of the Roman church that their Bishops had visited the Malabar coast once or twice. There is irrefutable evidence however of the Syrian Church in Kerala being in ecclesiastical communion with churches in the Middle East, who themselves were in no way under Roman domination. This hoax of reunion is just another scheme by the Roman Church, to convince those whom they have converted to their denomination of their sole legitimacy, ignoring the apostolic succession of the other Episcopal churches.
