Though it is true that such a chair exists, the claims that the primates of Malankara starting from Marthoma I were enthroned using this particular chair are uncorroborated. There is no evidence that this chair is the one used in 1653 AD or in the consecrations of subsequent primates of Malankara. In spite of the article being up over a decade, the author(s) have failed to provide even a single reference of contemporary records that verify their claims. As such, they remain claims, not historical facts. I will edit the article to mention that these are only claims without any historical evidence. Unless valid references are added in the near future, I suggest that this article be marked for deletion. --Swordofcherubim (talk) 05:46, 10 January 2019 (UTC)
This article contains only alleged beliefs and hearsay without any contemporary records to back them up. While the events of episcopal consecration are undisputed, the claims that a specific chair was used without even a single reliable source or contemporary document to back up the claim simply falls short of an article worthy of taking up space in Wikipedia. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 134.134.139.74 (talk) 20:35, 3 January 2019 (UTC)
St. Thomas did not annoint any bishops during his stay in India, hence the whole concept of the holy apostolic throne of St. Thomas is false.
Does All these church leaders Claim to be on the Throne of St. Thomas? 05:43, 29 March 2008 (UTC)
Indian Church cannot claim this throne with out the Catholicate. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 61.11.46.234 (talk) 09:29, 18 August 2008 (UTC)
You have not read about the history of Catholicos of East. And, it is a fact that Apostle Thomas didnot ordain a bishop in India. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Kulangattil (talk • contribs) 02:27, 24 August 2008 (UTC)
There are no reference on this article.A number of church names has been used in this article, which they dont claim Pamparam (talk) 16:18, 18 August 2009 (UTC)
The correct word should be "Holy See of St.Thomas" which is the word used in the case of other Apostles. Only the church which is headed by a Patriarch/Catholicos of the lineage of St.Thomas can claim this. As being very evident, Indian Orthodox Church can do it because it has the succession of the Catholicii of the See founded by St.Thomas in Persia. Like other Holy Sees around the world, this also was shifted to various cities in centuries due to political reasons and is finally established in India from 1912. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Abrahamoommenk (talk • contribs) 10:44, 16 December 2009 (UTC)

Hi, Oommen, There seems to be some confusion with the word “The Throne of Saint Thomas”. I doubt whether Holy See and Throne are the same.
None of the disciples of Jesus including Thomas, established a throne. The throne of Saint Thomas is the throne on which the Metropolitans of Saint Thomas Christians, from Marthoma I (1653) to Marthoma XXI (2007) were seated at the time of their enthronement. This throne is at present with the Mar Thoma Church.
I have no idea who created the "Holy See of St.Thomas" and Catholicii of the See founded by St.Thomas in Persia. I can’t trace this in any records of St. Thomas Christian tradition in Kerala before 1912. If you know of any such books or document, kindly give the title, year of publication (first edition) so that others also can verify it.
Mar Thoma Church does not belong to any See. If you want to put other Churches under "Holy See of St.Thomas", You may do so. For courtesy sake, please refer the churches concerned, before going round giving a See or a Throne to those churches. Definitely Mar Thoma Church does not belong to any Catholicii or to any Patriarch or to any Holy See.
So it is requested to leave Mar Thoma Church, under the Throne of Saint Thomas.Neduvelilmathew (talk) 17:56, 16 December 2009 (UTC)
Just like marthoma Church no church except Malankara Orthodox Church claims the see of St. Thomas(They did not do that till later days). So why are those churches added here. -ܠܝܓܘ Liju ലിജു לג"ו (talk) 11:00, 19 December 2009 (UTC)
Members of Churches whose prelates were not enthroned on the Throne of St. Thomas have entered the names of their Churches also in this article. Thus a dispute is created So please remove them to resolve this unnecessary dispute.Neduvelilmathew (talk) 16:46, 15 October 2010 (UTC)
This article is about the Throne of St. Thomas. It is believed that St. Thomas established the Church in India and so the throne is in India. The right to use this throne is for Malankara St. Thomas Christians. Necessary changes to this article have been made and hope this will resolve the dispute. I have no idea of any other Church founded by St. Thomas that still exists and so have a Throne of St. Thomas. Members of other Churches whose prelates are not enthroned on the Throne of St. Thomas, please do not include your stories into this article and create unnecessary dispute.Neduvelilmathew (talk) 16:42, 19 October 2010 (UTC)

Reverted the edits by 59.164.231.149 The tone does not seem to be suitable for a Wikipedia article. The definition given does not agree with what is given in the dictionary, wikipedia articles and the Bible. So before making anymore changes please read:

I came across this article and saw a jaw-dropping sermon inserted into the lead, which I have removed by restoring the article to its state before it was put in.Smeat75 (talk) 19:23, 3 September 2013 (UTC)
Much of the text that was recently added came from this diocesan website. That which was not, violated Wikipedia's policy on neutrality. This article was pretty ugly even without those edits, and I have found it necessary to cut down a few of the more egregious neutrality problems. Please work on this article with a view to Wikipedia policies and not advancing one particular cause. Elizium23 (talk) 20:17, 23 February 2016 (UTC)
