Baselios Cleemis
(born 15 June 1959) is the current
major archbishop
of the
Syro-Malankara Catholic Church
. He was elevated to the
College of Cardinals
by
Pope Benedict XVI
on 24 November 2012. Cleemis is the first bishop of the Syro-Malankara Church, and the fifth
Keralite
, to be created a cardinal. He said it was a sign of the Pope's appreciation of Indian Catholics' "unity in diversity", and cited the witness, the defence of human life, and the example of authentic prayer given by
Mother Teresa
.
