A few more users on Facebook shared<\/a> the image with an identical narrative.<\/p>\n

Fact-check<\/h2>\n

Alt News had earlier debunked<\/a> this fake quote ascribed to Mulakkal in September 2018. Parody handle Unpaid Times<\/em><\/a> was the first to tweet the screenshot that carried the quote attributed to the Bishop. The Twitter biography of Unpaid Times<\/em> clearly states that it is an \u201cIndian Satirical News Website\u201d. However, as it happens ever so often, many people fall for such satire and circulate the information believing it to be true.<\/p>\n

In 2018, Madhu Kishwar had also tweeted<\/a> the screenshot. The tweet has still not been deleted.<\/p>\n
