This episode of Beyond Rome explores the contradiction between Catholicism and antisemitism, arguing that antisemitic Catholics are inherently at odds with their faith.
October 28 marks the anniversary of the promulgation of Nostra Aetate, the Church’s declaration on its relation to non-Christian religions, especially with Judaism and the Jewish people.
To commemorate this anniversary, Mary and Simone joined James O’Reilly to talk about their participation at a conference that was hosted last year by Philos Catholic and Franciscan University at the University’s campus. They also speak about the Coalition of Catholics Against Antisemitism (CCAA), which was launched exactly one year ago today. Titled Nostra Aetate and the Future of Catholic-Jewish Relations at a Time of Rising Antisemitism, the conference brought together leaders from among both the Jewish and Catholic communities.
