prehistory

Dissatisfaction with the then patriarch of the Assyrian church Shimun VII. Ishuyau bar Mama because of his nepotism led to the election of the abbot of the monastery Rabban Hormizd as the opposing patriarch in 1552 . But because there was no metropolitan available for its consecration , the elected went to Rome to obtain it from the Pope and for this reason placed the Church under the Roman Pope. Pope Julius III appointed him in April 1553 with the bull Divina disponente clementia under the name Jochanan Sulaqa Shimun VIII. Patriarch of Mosul , who initially took his seat in Diyarbakır .

The owners of this patriarchy were:

Under Patriarch Mar Schimun XIII. the church fellowship with the Roman Pope was extinguished and a second non-Uniate "Patriarchate of the Mountains" (seat: Qudschanis) arose in the Assyrian Church in addition to the traditional "Patriarchate of the plain" (seat: Mosul ; Alqosh ). In Diyarbakır, a United East Syrian patriarchate was re-established from Rome, so that three East Syrian patriarchates (one of which was a United) co-existed. This uniate patriarchate of Amid was dissolved by the Holy See in 1828 because a church union with the original patriarchal line, which was held by the "Patriarchate of the Plain" in Mosul / Alqosh, was emerging. This union was then accomplished by Yohannan VIII Hormizd . He was appointed Patriarch of Babylon .
