Abstract:
Recalls traditional Christian doctrines of eternal damnation of the Jews and supersession of Israel by the Church, which have now been replaced by recognition of God's lasting covenant with Israel and a Jewish way to salvation. This new understanding means rejection of active proselytism, all the more since Jews have painful memories of the forced conversions of the Middle Ages, for example in Spain. In place of proselytism, the Catholic Church now fosters dialogue in which each side testifies to its own truth, but in a spirit of love and respect for the other.
