Nostra Aetate and the New Evangelization

A Conference on Vatican II and its relationship to the New Evangelization opened on Thursday at the Pontifical University Santa Croce, here in Rome. One of those addressing the gathering was Father David Maria Jaeger, Professor of Canon Law at the Pontifical Antonianum University.

He spoke on Thursday about the document Nostra Aetate, adopted by the Second Vatican Council in 1965, which looked at the relationship of the Church to non-Christian religions.

He told Lydia O’Kane that, “it is a teaching that like all teachings of the Church’s magisterium is as fresh and challenging today as it was in the mid 60’s.”
