RS 514 Overview

Several important Vatican II documents center on key issues involving dimensions of the Catholic Church’s understanding of human dignity, solidarity and unity: evangelization/mission (Ad Gentes), religious freedom (Dignitatis Humanae), ecumenism (Unitatis Redintegratio) and interreligious dialogue/interfaith relations (Nostra Aetate). With an emphasis on their pastoral and ministerial implications, this course will examine how each document developed its key insights, how it has been implemented and the current state of the questions on these significant and often debated topics.
