Pope Leo XIV meets American Jewish Committee

Catholic IntelligenceUpdated 1 min read

Pope Leo XIV met with a delegation from the American Jewish Committee at the Vatican on October 22, 2026, to discuss the ongoing friendship and cooperation between the Catholic Church and the Jewish community.

During the meeting, the pope emphasized that the shared spiritual heritage of both faiths calls them to defend human dignity, serve the poor, protect religious freedom, and promote justice and peace. He noted that differences of opinion, regardless of how deep they may be, should not lead to prejudice or hostility.

The pope recalled the work of Saint John Paul II in fostering Catholic-Jewish dialogue and referenced the 1965 declaration Nostra Aetate from the Second Vatican Council. He reiterated the Church's stance against antisemitism, stating that the Church fights against such hatred because of the Gospel.
