'''Baselios Paulose II''' (born as '''Puthusseril Joseph Paulose'''; 12 June 1914 in [[Kandanad]], [[Manakunnam]], [[India]] September 1996) was the first Maphrian of the [[Jacobite Syrian Christian Church]] (Syriac Orthodox Church in India).<br />
<br />
== Early life ==<br />
<br />
Paulose was born on 12 June 1914 to the Vicar of Cherai St Mary's church, Kasheesho Puthusseril Joseph and Elizabeth. He was named P. J. Paulose and completed his secondary education at Cherai Ramavarma High School. After completing college education at [[Kottayam]] CMS College and [[Alwaye]] Union Christian College, Paulose joined the Manjinikkara Dayaro. Paulose continued his [[Syriac language|Syriac]] education under Rabban Abdul Ahad (later [[Patriarch Yaqub III]]).<br />
<br />
== Holy Orders ==<br />
<br />
=== Priesthood ===<br />
<br />
In 1934, Yulius Elias, the delegate of the Patriarch to Malankara, ordained Paulose as deacon. In 1938, Yulius ordained him priest at Manjinikkara Dayaro (Monastery). Later Paulose became secretary to Yulius and malphono at Manjinikkara Dayaro.<br />
<br />
=== Metropolitan ===<br />
<br />
On 25 April 1952, the Kandanad diocesan delegates meeting selected 'Kasheesho' Paulose to succeed [[Athanasius Paulose]] who had therelinquished his additional duties as the metropolitan of Kandanad due to illness. Patriarch [[Ignatius Aphrem I Barsoum]] ordained Paulose P. J. with the name '''Mor Philoxenus''' on 19 October 1952 at [[Homs]], [[Syria]].<br />
<br />
=== Catholicos ===<br />
<br />
On 7 September 1975, [[Ignatius Jacob III]] consecrated Philoxenus as Catholicos of the East ([[Catholicos of India]]). On 14 September 1980, he consecrated [[Ignatios Zakka I Iwas]], [[Syriac Catholic Archeparchy of Baghdad|Archbishop of Baghdad]], as the [[Syriac Orthodox Patriarch of Antioch]]; this was the first time in the long history of the Patriarchate of Antioch that a Catholicos from Malankara officiated at the consecration of a [[Patriarch]]. He also ordained six bishops for the Malankara church.{{citation needed|date=November 2020}}<br />
