Vatican Document Affirms Interreligious Dialogue as Essential to 'Journey of Hope' for Humanity
The 20-page note renews calls for interreligious dialogue and says discrimination and persecution violate human dignity, the Vatican said.
- On the 60th anniversary of the 'brief yet bold' Declaration Nostra, the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith, the Dicastery for Promoting Christian Unity, and the Dicastery for Interreligious Dialogue published the Note 'A Journey of Hope'.
- Published on October 28, 1965, the Declaration Nostra marked 'a profound change,' as the Church for the first time rejected discrimination against other religions, serving as a response to the tragic consequences of the Shoah.
- Focusing on Jewish and Christian relations rooted in the Old Testament, the Vatican document criticizes manifestations of 'Islamophobia.' The Dicasteries urge that 'mutual knowledge and esteem' developed over sixty years be maintained and developed further.
- Dialogue requires humility and discernment, the Note emphasizes, describing it as an 'authentic evangelical path' rather than a renunciation of identity. It presents 'concrete concern for the most vulnerable' as the universal criterion for discerning right direction.
- Concluding with an appeal, the document calls for all people to become 'builders of bridges, not walls' and 'artisans of peace and fraternity,' welcoming others in their diversity and collaborating in building a more just society.
