St.Thomas aka Judas Thomas in the Acts of Thomas, is the biggest fraud imposed by South Indian Padre on natives.
There is no historical evidence of St.Thomas coming to India or his tomb in Santhome.
Padre in South India created this myth and the lie was spread by Dravidian
Act of Thomas which contains the mention of St.Thomas in India, was written by Syrian Gnostic poet Bardesanes about 210 CE at Edessa, Syria.
Bardesanes was familiar with India and had met and discussed Indian philosophy with Buddhist monks travelling west to Alexandria.
In all records Thomas is executed on the Parthian royal acropolis and soon after buried at Edessa where a cult grows up around his tomb—until Marco Polo in his famous travel book puts his tomb on the seashore in an unnamed little town in South India.
Marco, who never came to India, was repeating the stories told to him by Muslim and Syrian Christian merchants he met in Constantinople.
This is how St Thomas got to South India. The Portuguese who knew Marco’s popular book Il Milione
Mylapore also had a good harbour and a great heathen temple that could be turned into a Christian apostle’s tomb. As they say, the rest is history—and a falsified history at that!
Even Pope Benedict has denied that St. Thomas came to South India—never mind that his editors changed his statement the next day to include South India because Kerala’s bishops had threatened secession or worse if the Church did not support their dearly held tale of origins.
