East Syriac Catholic Churches on EWTN

[twf]

I was looking at EWTN’s write-up on Eastern Catholic Churches and the brief descriptions for the Chaldean and Syro-Malabar Churches are condescending and inaccurate. I am a Latin, but I was still offended. Has anyone ever reached out to EWTN to correct some of these errors?

1. EAST SYRIAC
   • Chaldean – Babylonian Catholics returned to Rome in 1692 from the Nestorian heresy. Patriarch of Babylon of the Chaldeans. Liturgical languages are Syriac and Arabic. The 310,000 Chaldean Catholics are found in Iraq, Iran, Syria, Lebanon, Egypt, Turkey and the US.
   • Syro–Malabarese – Catholics from Southern India using the East Syriac liturgy. Returned to Rome in the 16th century from the Nestorian heresy. Liturgical languages are Syriac and Malayalam. Over 3 million Syro–Malabarese Catholics can be found in the state of Kerela, in SW India.

Especially in light of the common declaration of faith on Christology that was signed between the Catholic Church and the Assyrian Church, it seems quite ecumenically insensitive to speak of Chaldean Catholics “returning to Rome from the Nestorian heresy”…
