Porozumienie fundamentalne między Stolicą Apostolską a Państwem Izrael i jego znaczenie dla relacji katolicko-żydowskich

Abstract

One of the most important problems in the Catholic-Jewish dialogue, which began after the proclamation by the Second Vatican Council of the Declaration on the Non-Christian Religions Nostra Aetate was lack of the diplomatic relations between the Holy See and the State of Israel. After its establishing in December 31, 1993, the Catholic-Jewish relations gained a new level. The International Liaison Committee, the only official body providing a link between the Holy See and the largest Jewish organizations, started to discuss the problems of human rights, family, freedom and protection of environment from a Biblical perspective. The second important body, the Jerusalem-Vatican Committee, connecting the Holy See Commission for Religious Relations with Judaism and the Chief Rabbinate of Israel, concentrated mainly on the problems of the sanctity of human life and on the religious freedom.
