Academic Event: “50 Years of Nostra Aetate: A New Era of Dialogue”

November 4, 2015
On November 4, 2015, the academic event “50 Years of Nostra Aetate: A New Era of Dialogue” took place at the Pocitos Campus. A panel of experts on the subject spoke about the Nostra Aetate Declaration and its relevance today. The event was organized by the Jewish-Christian Fellowship and the university’s Department of Jewish Studies.
The Declaration *Nostra Aetate* (Our Age), which addresses the Church’s relations with non-Christian religions, was approved on October 28, 1965, during the fourth and final session of the Second Vatican Council, which opened in 1962 under the presidency of Pope John XXIII and concluded under the presidency of Pope Paul VI.

It was the shortest document issued by this council, but it became a milestone for the future of interreligious dialogue, especially regarding relations with Judaism, since, among other considerations, it absolves the Jews of responsibility for the death of Jesus and deplores any form of anti-Semitism.
