El Vaticano ante los 60 años de ‘Nostra aetate’: “El proselitismo como forma de encuentro ya no tiene sentido”

The Vatican is calling for an end to proselytism as a primary way to engage with other religions as it approaches the 60th anniversary of the document Nostra aetate. According to Elena Magariños for Vida Nueva, the Church seeks to move beyond approaches based on defense, hostility, or conquest.

The Vatican suggests that relating to others solely through attempts to convert them no longer makes sense. This includes moving away from an uncompromising defense of its own position to foster dialogue with different faith traditions.
