Catholic-Jewish dialogue highlights 40 years of progress

Brian Olszewski reports in the November 10, 2005 Catholic Herald on the November 6th conference on Jewish/Catholic relations, celebrating the 40th anniversary of the Second Vatican Council's Declaration on the Relationship of the Church to Non-Christian Religions (Nostra Aetate).

Rabbi David Sandmel, one of two keynote speakers for the evening, said it was difficult to overestimate the effect Nostra Aetate had on the Jewish community in 1965.

"What it launched is more significant than what it said," he said.

Where what is launched doesn't conflict with what it said, I presume.
