== Aftermath of the Coonan Cross Oath ==
After the [[Coonan Cross Oath]], Thommen organized an important meeting of the Saint Thomas Christian community, at [[Alangad|Alangadu Church]].
This meeting made the historic decision to administer the Malankara church independent of the Portuguese Padroado or Roman Catholic prelates.
In order to take over the administration of the church, the meeting also decided to form a council of four senior Kathanars willing to support Archdeacon Thomas.
Apart from Itty Thommen, the members of this council were:
* Kadavil Chandy Kathanar
* [[Palliveettil Chandy|Palliveettil Chandy Kathanar]]
* Vengoor Geevarghese Kathanar

However, the Carmelite missionaries who replaced the jesuits to convince two of these Kathanars, [[Palliveettil Chandy]] and Kadavil Chandy to reaffirm their allegiance to the Catholic Church.<ref name="syr_chris_thomen"/>

== Death ==
Kathanar died on 10 May 1659 CE (Medam 27, 834 ME) and he was interred at St. Mary's Knanaya Jacobite Syrian Church (Knanaya Valiapally), [[Kallisserry]] where he had been the vicar.<ref name="syr_chris_thomen">{{Cite web|url=http://www.syriacchristianity.info/bio/IttyThommenKathanar.htm|title=Itty Thommen Kathanar|website=www.syriacchristianity.info|access-date=2017-12-28}}</ref>
