Getting the pope involed was the wrong thing to do; his opinion about liturgical uniformity as a means to unity is irrelevant to other jurisdictions, and the Syro-Malabar Christians should have settled this on their own, either with a compromise or with ecclesial sanction, if they couldn't get unanimity on ad orientem worship.

Pope Francis has told members of the Syro-Malabar Church that a “uniform way of celebrating the Holy Qurbana” is “an important step towards the growth of ecclesial stability and communion within the entire body of your beloved Church.” https://t.co/TfrabdAHk0

Today's Canonizations in Rome

I bet María Teresa Chiramel Mankidiyan was not canonized separately by the Syro-Malabar hiearchy, who will not act to have a liturgical memorial for her now that Rome has issued its decree. More evidence of Latinization here:
