Shimun X (Syriac:ܫܡܥܘܢ /Shemʿon, diedc. 1638) wasPatriarch of theShemʿon line ofprimates of theChurch of the East, fromc. 1600 toc. 1638. He is claimed both by theChaldean Catholic Church and theAssyrian Church of the East. Upon accession to the patriarchal throne, he moved his seat fromUrmia toSalmas, and also resided in Khananis nearQodshanis. He succeeded PatriarchShimun IX Dinkha who was in full communion with theCatholic Church. Unlike his predecessor, who was officially recognized by Rome as thePatriarch of the Chaldeans, Shimun X was not formally recognized by the Catholic Church because his election was based on hereditary principle, reintroduced after the death of his predecessor. Hereditary succession was considered an unacceptable practice by the Rome. In 1616, contacts between patriarch Shimun X and theCatholic Church were initiated, upon arrival of Catholic missionaries to the region. Patriarch composed a profession of faith, that was sent to Rome for assessment. Upon examination, Shimun′s profession was found inadequate, and he was not received into communion with the Catholic Church. Similar attempt was made in 1619, but wit no final conclusion. Because of such complex situation, his legacy was viewed differently along denominational lines, and claimed by both sides. He is considered as pro-Catholic by theChaldean Catholic Church, and also as non-Catholic by theAssyrian Church of the East.[1][2][3]
