The '''Metropolitan Archdiocese of Angamaly''' was an ecclesiastical jurisdiction of the [[Chaldean Catholic Church]] in [[Malabar Coast|Malabar]], [[Indian subcontinent|India]]. It came into existence as a Catholic continuation of the [[India (East Syriac ecclesiastical province)|Ecclesiastical Province of India]] of the [[Church of the East]] following the [[schism of 1552]]. It was established in 1565 and continued to exist till 1599 when it was ultimately suppressed by the colonial [[Synod of Diamper]] in 1599 and replaced by the [[Portuguese Padroado|Portuguese ''Padroado'']] administered [[Archdiocese of Cranganore|Archdiocese of Angamaly]] (later Archdiocese of Cranganore) suffragan to the ''Padroado'' [[Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Goa and Daman|Primatal Archdiocese of Goa]]. The brief and turbulent history of the archdiocese is noted for the two archbishops, namely [[Joseph Sulaqa]] and [[Abraham of Angamaly|Abraham]], who were the last Persian prelates to govern the undivided [[Saint Thomas Christian]] community in South India.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Wilmshurst |first=David |title=The Ecclesiastical Organisation of the Church of the East 1318 - 1913 |publisher=Aedibus Peeters |year=2000 |isbn=9042908769 |location=Louvain |pages=350 |language=English}}</ref><ref>{{Cite book |last=Pallath |first=Paul |title=The Provincial Councils of Goa and the Church of St Thomas Christians |publisher=OIRSI |year=2005 |isbn=8188456225 |location=Kottayam}}</ref><br />
