Joseph I (1681–1696), who served as the Metropolitan ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Chaldean Catholic Patriarchs Of Babylon
This is a list of the Chaldean Catholicoi-Patriarchs of Baghdad, formerly Babylon, the leaders of the Chaldean Catholic Church and one of the Patriarchs of the east of the Catholic Church starting from 1553 following the schism of 1552 which caused a break in the Church of the East, which later led to the founding of the Chaldean Catholic Church.

Biblical Aramaic is closely related to Syriac Aramaic, which until recently was called Chaldaic or Chaldee, and East Syrian Christians, whose liturgical language was this dialect of Aramaic, were called Chaldeans, as an ethnic, not a religious term. Hormuzd Rassam (1826–1910) still applied the term "Chaldeans" no less to those not in communion with Rome than to the Catholic Chaldeans and stated that "the present Chaldeans, with a ...

Mosul
Mosul ( ar, الموصل, al-Mawṣil, ku, مووسڵ, translit=Mûsil, Turkish: ''Musul'', syr, ܡܘܨܠ, Māwṣil) is a major city in northern Iraq, serving as the capital of Nineveh Governorate. The city is considered the second largest city in Iraq in terms of population and area after the capital Baghdad, with a population of over 3.7 million. Mosul is approximately north of Baghdad on the Tigris river. The Mosul metropolitan area has grown from the old city on the western side to encompass substantial areas on both the "Left Bank" (east side) and the "Right Bank" (west side), as locals call the two riverbanks.

Joseph II (Chaldean Patriarch)
Mar Joseph II Sliba Marouf (or ''Youssef II Sliba Bet Macruf'') was the second incumbent of the ''Josephite'' line of Church of the East, a little patriarchate in full communion with the pope active in the areas of Amid and Mardin in the 17th–19th century. He was the patriarch of the Chaldean Catholic Church from 1696 to 1713. Life Sliba Marouf was born in 1667 in Tel Keppe, Ottoman Empire, received first orders at fourteen, and was consecrated bishop, without the previous consent of Rome, at the age of 24 in 1691 by Joseph I. He was chosen by Joseph I as his successor in 1694, but this appointment became effective only when Rome accepted his predecessor's resignation in 1696. Thus Sliba Marouf was confirmed patriarch by Holy See on June 18, 1696, with the name of Joseph II. As happened for Joseph I, his ministry had to face the strong opposition of the traditionalists. This forced him in 1708 to ask permission of Rome to resign and move to Italy, a request that was not grante ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Chaldean Diocese Of Amid
The Diocese of Amid ( Diyarbakir) was a diocese or archdiocese of the Chaldean Church from the sixteenth to the twentieth century. From at least the 13th century the city of Amid had been part of the Diocese of Maiperqat of the Church of the East; following the schism of 1552 it became the seat of its own diocese in the Chaldean Church. The archdiocese lapsed in 1929 on the death of the bishop Shlemun Mushe al-Sabbagh. The title of Amid was revived by the Chaldean church in 1966 as the Chaldean Catholic Archeparchy of Amida. The Archeparchy is now the sole remaining Chaldean diocese in Turkey, so in effect has jurisdiction over all of Turkeys Chaldeans. They maintain 2 churches in Diyarbakir and the bishop resides in Istanbul. Background The East Syriac Diocese of Amid was a comparatively late foundation. The city of Amid ( Diyarbakir) was predominantly an Armenian and Syriac Orthodox centre; there is little evidence for a presence of the Church of the East in the earlier pe ...

Joseph I (Chaldean Patriarch)
Mar Yousip I (Joseph I, † 1707) was the first incumbent of the ''Josephite'' line of Church of the East, thus being considered the Patriarch of the Chaldean Catholic Church from 1681 to 1696. Background situation By 1660, the Church of the East had become divided into two patriarchates: * the largest and oldest patriarchal see was based at the Rabban Hormizd Monastery of Alqosh. It spread from Aqrah up to Amid and Nisibis, covering in the South the rich plain of Mosul (it is known also as ''Eliya'' line). Since the 15th century its Patriarchs were appointed through an hereditary system. * the second patriarchal see was located in Khosrowa, near Salmas (from 1672 in Qochanis) and extended into the North East mountains (it is also known as the ''Shimun'' line). This patriarchal line began in 1553 when Mar Yohannan Sulaqa was consecrated bishop by the Pope in 1553, but soon it lost the connections with Rome. The last patriarch of this line recognized by the Holy See was ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
