The Holy Apostolic Catholic Church Of The East - continues 109 Patriarchs occupied the Patriarchal See of this most ancient Church of the East including the two present Patriarchs namely; Mar Adai II whose See is in Baghd ad (Seleucia-Cteseiphon) and Mar Dinkha IV whose See is in United States of America. The Patriarchal See was therefore, established in Seleucia-Cteseiphon and there it stayed until the rise of Islam, when it was moved to Baghdad This Church spread Christianity in the Middle East and Far East. The fact that Christian gospel was accepted by the Assyrians was that the Christian faith is of Semitic origin and revealed through prophesies in that language, i.e. Aramaic, a language common to both the Assyrians and Jews. Some Historians mention that Aramaic language was very powerful and was known by Jews more than their own language Hebrew and this was one of the reasons that Christianity spread widely in those days. This church expanded and by 90 A.D. had already nineteen Episcopal sees, from Mesopotamia to Caspian Sea and India. Towards the end of the first century and the middle of the second century A.D. the influence of this church extended all the way to Rome. All the fathers of the early Christian Church in Rome, later known as the Latin Church, were all Assyrians of Syrians, Aramain speaking people, missionaries of the Church of the East.
