Chaldean Church

The Chaldean Church, also known as the Chaldean Catholic Church, is an Eastern Catholic Christian community primarily composed of Assyrian and Iraqi Christians. It recognizes the Pope's authority while maintaining its own liturgical traditions and Byzantine rite. Historically, it traces its roots to ancient Mesopotamia and shares close ties with the Assyrian Church of the East, but entered communion with Rome in the 16th century. Today, it serves its faithful mainly in Iraq, Syria, and the diaspora, emphasizing both its ancient heritage and allegiance to the Catholic Church.
