Michael Arattukulam (17 April 1910 – 20 March 1995) was the first bishop of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Alleppey and an advocate of the Rotae Romanae[1].
His parents, Andrews and Rosamma Arattukulam, were members of the congregation of St. Antony's church, Perunnermangalam, Chennaveli. He was ordained on 29 August 1937.
The Roman Catholic Diocese of Alleppey belongs to the Latin rite and was created on 19 June 1952 by the division of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Cochin. Arattukulam was consecrated as the Bishop of Alleppey on 7 December of that year. Arattukulam actively participated in the four sessions of the Second Ecumenical Council of Vatican held at St. Peter's Basilica, Rome, during the period 1962–1965.[2] He was the first bishop to publicly criticize the "Indianization" of the Catholic Church's liturgy, although some Catholic groups have protested against the use of Hindu elements in the Mass.[3] Arattukulam identified the sanctity of Fernanda Riva's life and asked that her Cause for Canonisation be introduced.[4] Arattukulam founded colleges, schools, hospitals and other social service organizations and published two books on Catholic topics. A birth centenary was celebrated at St. Antony's church, Perunnermangalam, along with St. Antony's feast in the month of June 2010.
