Many today are unaware of the tumultuous history of the Declaration Nostra Aetate and how it was initially intended to exclusively address the relationship of the Church with the Jewish people. This paper examines the origins and development of the Declaration on the Jews and how it eventually became the Declaration on the Relation of the Church to Non-Christian Religions.

Since the inception of the Toward Jerusalem Council II initiative, the involvement of Catholics has been a stumbling block for many – both Evangelical Christians with no love for Rome and Messianic Jews who are very conscious of the sufferings of the Jewish people at the hands of the Catholic Church.  Fr. Peter Hocken explains why it is essential for Catholics to be involved in TJCII.

The People of God of the flesh stand surety for the People of God in the spirit, not only as witnesses to scriptural promise but as the living root of the Church.

"Do not take your eyes off of Israel, because I never remove mine from the people who gave me birth.  Nor do I remove my protecting hand.  However, now they are surrounded by enemies, far stronger than any described in the bible, and they are deciding what needs to be done. If only they knew to call on me!  If only they had devotion to me, I could lead them on safe paths."

Il nuovo Tempio sarà eretto, quando il Giudaismo e il Cattolicesimo saranno uniti per annunziare l’unica Parola di Dio e l’unico Messia, per cantare l’unica Gloria di Dio, che risplende in tutte le opere compiute nel Giudaismo e nel Cattolicesimo sia le sue grandi opere di Misericordia sia le sue grandi opere di Giudizio a causa dei peccati degli uomini.

Faced with the "already here" of the Church, Israel is the witness of the "not yet". The Jewish people and the Christian people are thus in a situation of mutual imitation. Christians rejoice in the "already here", while the Jews remember the "not yet".

Alcune recenti locuzioni, presumibilmente espresse da Gesù e Maria, parlano di Israele e del Popolo Ebraico come centro di drammatici eventi che presto accadranno nel mondo. Potrebbero queste parole essere un campanello d'allarme alla Chiesa e al mondo?
