The Chaldean Christians (also known as Chaldean Assyrians, Chaldo-Assyrians, Assyro-Chaldeans; Neo-Aramaic: ܟܠܕܝܐ Keldani), adherents of the Chaldean Catholic Church, form a subset of the Assyrian people. Many Chaldean Catholics refute this as they do not consider themselves to be Assyrians. This is due in part to the Church identity promoted by the Chaldean Catholic Church. Chaldeans call themselves Sūrāyā (Syrian) in singular and Sūrāyē in plural
, which is considered to be a synonym of Aššūrāye (Assyrians.) However, most Chaldeans today mistakenly translate the word Suraye as Christians.
They have been settling primarily in Iraq, with smaller communities in Turkey and Iran, for the most part speaking the Chaldean Neo-Aramaic language. A formerly Nestorian denomination, they were reunited with the Roman Catholic Church in 1553.
Chaldean Catholics have no direct or absolute lineage with the Neo-Babylonian Empire "Chaldeans", but were designated with the name Chaldean in the 16th century when they reunited with the Catholic Church to distinguish from the adherents of the Assyrian Church of the East. counted
233 parishes and 177 churches or chapels. The Catholic Chaldean Clergy numbered 248 priests; they are assisted by the religious of the Congregation of St. Hormizd (Rabban-Hormizd) who numbered about one hundred. There were about 52 Chaldean schools (not counting those conducted by Latin nuns and missionaries). At Mosul there was a patriarchal seminary, distinct from the Syro-Chaldean seminary directed by the Dominicans. The total number of the Chaldeans according to the above-mentioned authority was nearly 78,000, 24,000 of whom are in the Diocese of Mosul. The Catholic Encyclopedia of 1913 preferred a number of about 66,000 as against 140,000 Nestorians. According to Joseph Tfinkdji, a Chaldean priest from Mardin, who collected statistics for the entire Chaldean Church in 1913, the size of the Chaldean Church in June 1913 was totally 101,610. As of 2003, the Chaldean Catholic Church estimated a total of 600,000 - 700,000 faithful.
The patriarch considers Baghdad as the principal city of his see. His title of "Patriarch of Babylon" results from the erroneous identification (in the seventeenth century) of modern Baghdad with ancient Babylon. As a matter of fact the Chaldean patriarch resides habitually at Mosul and reserves for himself the direct administration of this diocese and that of Baghdad. There are five archbishops (resident respectively at Bassora, Diarbekir, Kerkuk, Salamas, and Urmia) and seven bishops. Eight patriarchal vicars govern the small Chaldean communities dispersed throughout Turkey and Persia. The Chaldean clergy, especially the monks of Rabban-Hormizd, have established some missionary stations in the mountain districts inhabited by Nestorians. Three dioceses are in Persia, the others in Turkey. (en)

- Kaldeiska kristna är utövare av kaldeisk-katolska kyrkan och bildar en undergrupp av det assyriska folket. De har bosatt sig främst i Irak och Turkiet, och till den största delen, talar de kaldeisk nyarameiska. Ett före detta Nestorianskt samfund, blev de återförenade med romersk-katolska kyrkan år 1553. Kaldeiska assyrier är inte direkt eller absolut relaterade till Nybabyloniska imperiets "Kaldéer", men namnet kaldéer gavs av katolska kyrkan på 1500-talet för att skilja åt dem från utövare från österns apostoliska och katolska assyriska kyrka (även känt som Nestorianska kyrkan, efter Nestorius).
