Chaldean Catholic Church

The Chaldean Catholic Church is an autonomous church in full communion with the Catholic Church. It is one of 23 Eastern Catholic Churches which use Eastern liturgical rites in addition to the Latin rite. It emerged from the ancient Church of the East (also known as the Nestorian Church) after the schism of 1552. The church claims continuity with the old Church of the East.
