Dadisho

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Mar Dadishoʿ I was a Catholicus of the Church of the East from 421 AD to 456 AD

Significantly, in his reign, in 424 AD, the Church of the East declared itself independent of all other churches; Catholicus Mar Dadisho I started carrying the title of Patrairch as well.

Thereafter, all the Catholicoi, heads of the Church of the East started carrying besides the title of Catholicus, the additional title of Patriarch, Mar Dadisho being the first Catholicus-Patriarch himself.
