History
Northern Iraq is home to the Syriac Catholic Archeparchy of Mosul, informally Mossul of the Syriacs, an ecclesiastical territory of the Syriac Catholic Church. Not a metropolitan see and part of no ecclesiastical province, it is immediately exempt to the Syriac Catholic Patriarch of Antioch and to the Roman Congregation for the Oriental Churches. The Syriac Catholic Cathedral in the episcopal see of Mosul serves as its cathedral.
