Mission <i>sui iuris</i> of Mossul

Mission sui iuris of Mossul

Former Latin Catholic jurisdiction in Iraq


The Mission sui iuris of Mossul was a Latin Church missionary pre-diocesan jurisdiction of the Catholic Church in northern Iraq, primarily Kurdistan.

It was exempt, i.e. directly dependent on the Holy See (notably the Congregation Propaganda Fide), not part of any ecclesiastical province.

It was established in 1750, without formal Latin precursor jurisdiction, and suppressed in 1969, without formal successor.
