Bridges, not walls: Nostra Aetate at 60


Listen Later

This month marks 60 years since Nostra Aetate, the landmark Vatican II document that transformed Catholic relations with Judaism and other world religions. Geraldine Doogue speaks with Mary Reaburn, a Sister of Our Lady of Sion whose order was instrumental in the rescue of Jews during the Holocaust, to reflect on the document’s origins and its enduring relevance amid current global divisions. 'Real dialogue is the salvation of our world,' Mary tells Geraldine.
