Does anyone know the email, address, or phone number for the Chaldean diocese in the USA? Does anyone know their website? I could find known of these using Google.

While we are at it, I’ve been trying to look for YouTube videos of their DL, and have found none. If anyone can point me to some videos, that would be nice.

Try searching for “Chaldean Holy Qurbana” instead of “Divine Liturgy”While we are at it, I’ve been trying to look for YouTube videos of their DL, and have found none. If anyone can point me to some videos, that would be nice.
There is an Assyrian Holy Qurbana here: oltv.tv/id168.html
I assume it is similar because the Chaldeans are essentially Assyrians in union with Rome.

I would also type in “Chladean Catholic” or “Chaldean Church” on Youtube. Will get you some good stuff.
I pray for those Brave Christians every day.

Those numbers show why the Latin archbishop of Detroit and Latin bishop of San Diego were invited and attended the recent Synod for the Middle East in Rome.
Joan Lewis, EWTN’s Rome Bureau Chief, interviewed His Excellency Archbishop Vigneron during the Synod including on her 10/23/2010 podcast.
(Re Chaldeans in the home land: her interview with Archbishop-elect of Erbil, Iraq: Fr. Bashar Warda, the former rector of the Chaldean seminary in Erbil can be found there 5/29/2010, with Fr. Bashar Warda, a Redemptorist Priest and rector of St. Peter’s Chaldean Seminary in Ankawa, Erbil in Kurdistan, in northern Iraq talks on 3/6/2010, with Archbishop Louis Sako, Chaldean, 2/13 and 2/20/2010.)

Interesting. I never discussed the liturgy with my pastor but on the subject of iconography, he told me the Assyrians have a very simple and almost sterile use of iconography (Or lack thereof) in their churches and he found Chaldean Churches to embrace a lot of western style art and statues. Has anyone noticed this or seen this first hand?

The Assyrian Church of the East typically does not have any iconography in its parishes due to the belief that its against the 2nd commandment. Both Assyrian and Chaldean churches do typically have a large cross behind the altar and some Aramaic writings.

Chaldean churches often, but not always, use Western art (stations of the cross) and statuary, due to latinizations and a desire to have some religious art due to coming from a background that doesn’t have any.

Some parishes also use Byzantine iconography.

Perhaps of interest here, Catherine Your Word From The Wise posted a link to A History of the Chaldean Mass by Dr. William Macomber, of eternal memory. Catherine writes he was “an assistant professor of Oriental Liturgy at the institute of Oriental Studies in Rome, cataloguer of Oriental manuscripts, researcher and scholar extraordinaire…”
