Vatican II and the concept of an interreligious dialogue. Fact and fiction in the face of radical Islam

The essay explores the transformative impact of Vatican II and its declaration "Nostra Aetate" on the Catholic Church's relationship with other religions, particularly Judaism and Islam. It highlights the shift from a traditionally negative stance to a more progressive dialogue aimed at fostering understanding and cooperation among faiths. By re-evaluating interfaith relations, the work emphasizes the potential for improved interactions and the significance of this turning point in the context of contemporary religious discourse.
