Nostra Aetate EBREI E CRISTIANI FRATELLI

Nostra Aetate JEWS AND CHRISTIANS BROTHERS POPE LEO XIV RECEIVED THE UNITED JEWISH APPEAL-FEDERATION OF NEW YORK IN THE APOSTOLIC PALACE IN THE VATICAN, THE NORTH AMERICAN JEWISH FEDERATION ENGAGED IN MANY HUMANITARIAN MISSIONS, NOT ONLY ON BEHALF OF THE JEWS, BUT ALSO IN DIPLOMATIC TASKS SO NECESSARY IN THIS DIFFICULT HISTORICAL TIME. AND WHICH ALLY IS MORE RELIABLE THAN THE CATHOLIC CHURCH, WHICH AT THIS TIME REMEMBERS THE PROMULGATION OF THE ENCYCLICAL NOSTRA AETATE, SIGNED BY PAUL VI AND PREVIOUSLY ALREADY IN DRAFT BY JOHN XXIII, WHO IN A MEETING WITH THE JEWS HAD ASSOCIATED HIS BAPTISMAL NAME—JOSEPH—TO THE JOSEPH OF THE BIBLE AND INTRODUCED HIMSELF WITH THE WORDS "I AM YOUR BROTHER." OVER THE 60 YEARS SINCE NOSTRA AETATE, MANY DISAGREEMENTS BETWEEN JEWS AND CHRISTIANS HAVE BEEN RESOLVED, AND CHRISTIANS HAVE LEARNED TO CONSIDER THE JEWS AS ELDER BROTHERS, AS POPE JOHN PAUL II DEFINED THEM. During the meeting, Pope Prevost condemned the violence of war, anti-Semitism, and racial and religious intolerance. He stressed the need to not forget the fragile and poor, recalling God's words in the Book of Revelation: "Dilexi Te," I have loved you. "Dilexi Te," which is also the title Pope Leo XIV gave to his apostolic exhortation. Love is a feeling, but also active and concrete participation.
