„Dekalog” dialogu Kościoła katolickiego z Żydami i judaizmem

Abstract

The Second Vatican Council’s document Nostra aetate (28.10.1965) provides a solid foundation for the Catholic Church’s new approach to the Jews and Judaism. Almost half a century has passed since the declaration was promulgated and now we recognize the most important points of our mutual relations much better than before. From a Catholic perspective, they can be perceived as the “Decalogue” of the dialogue. These include: 1. Common roots and common spiritual heritage; 2. The Jews as the “elder brothers” of the Christians; 3. The continuity of the election of Israel; 4. “Whoever meets Jesus Christ, meets Judaism”; 5. The problem of responsibility for the death of Jesus Christ; 6. The Christian theology of Judaism and the Jewish theology of Christianity; 7. The Shoah/ Holocaust and anti-Semitism; 8. The State of Israel, the Holy Land and Jerusalem; 9. The nature and aims of the dialogue; 10. Cooperation and mutual tasks.
