Catholic Religious Australia recommits to dialogue and collaboration on the anniversary of Nostra Aetate

Nostra Aetate marked a watershed moment in the teaching of the Church, speaking positively about other religions for the first time by affirming “the good things, spiritual and moral, as well as the socio-cultural values” to be found among them (NA 2), asserting the unique spiritual relationship between Christianity and Judaism, and repudiating centuries-old prejudices held particularly against Jews, as well as other religious communities.
