Pope Mark evidently entertained the Syrian BishopAhatallah for some time during his papacy. Bishop Ahatallah was in Cairo when Pope Pope Mark received a letter fromThomas,Archdeacon of theSaint Thomas Christian community ofIndia asking for a new bishop in the face of Portuguese dominance. Unable or unwilling to send someone from his own church, Pope Mark evidently suggested that Bishop Ahatallah go to India instead.[1]
