1599 CE
The diocesan Synod of Diamper, held at Udayamperoor/Diamper, is convened on June 20, 1599 under the leadership of Aleixo de Menezes, Archbishop of Goa, in what is today the Indian state of Kerala.
The Christians of Saint Thomas formally adopt Latin usages, thus separating them from the Chaldean Patriarch and subjecting them directly to the Latin Archbishopric of Goa.
Archdeacon George (of the Cross) is thus forced to comply with the wishes of Archbishop of Goa.
