Msgr. Dr. Paul Pallath, at present a Relator of the Congregation for the Causes of Saints, an associate professor at the Pontifical Oriental Institute in Rome and a Consultor at the Congregation for the Oriental Churches, formerly rendered his service as an offical of the Congregation for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments for 16 years and as the office-head at the Tribunal of the Roman Rota for two years. He has published 18 books and more than 75 articles, many of which deal with the history, liturgy and spiritual heritage of th St Thomas Christians in India.

"As a canonist, theologian and historian, he (Paul Pallath) logically brings out the theological arguments based on scripture and tradition of the Chruch for re-establishing the unity of Christian intiation both in theory and praxtice. Though the author's special reference is to the Syro-Malabar Chruch his arguments are relevant and convincing even for other Chruches, without excluding the Latin Chruch".
