I am leaving the link to the Vatican web site "visible" to better support printed copies of the article -- as is suggested in the Wikipedia Style discussions.

Also restoring bold on the descriptive title of the declaration to be consistent with other articles

I am somewhat surprised that the fortieth anniversary of NOSTRA AETATE seems to have been ignored by the major press. In Sydney tonight - 20 October 2005 - there is a meeting at which Catholic and Jew speakers will be celebrating this event. A source for this event and for the anniversary is page 14 of the Australian Jewish News, Sydney Nsw dated 20th October 2005. Hynot 06:48, 20 October 2005 (UTC)

I completely agree -- this remains one of the major accomplishments of the Council, to the irritation of many, apparently. I just reversed some rather POV language hostile to NA. ClaudeMuncey 02:08, 27 October 2005 (UTC).

I added a short bibliography, and am working on an expansion of the bibliography and new sections dealing with the origins of Nostra Aetate and a history of the drafting of the text. I hope to follow this up later with post-Conciliar implementations of NA post-Conciliar documents and other developments, including events associated with the 40th anniversary of NA User: couchoula 3 September 2006

[edit] Grammar between draft 3 and 4

The grammar of the extracts from draft 4 changes pretty obviously from that of the previous three paragraphs, with the loss of speech marks, parenthases around the summary at the beginning and a few others. I'm not sufficiently familiar with the subject to make the changes myself, but I'm sure the draft 4 paragraph could be tidied up somewhat. Sithemadmonkey 11:31, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] "absolved" the jews

I always find it odd that people from all sides list Nostra Aetate as saying that the Jews didn't kill Christ, or that those who killed Christ weren't Jewish acting in the name of the corporation of Judaism, or, as today's front page says, "absolving the Jews of the killing of Jesus." What in the text could be construed to say any of those things? The text simply says that today's Jews are not responsible for the sins of Jews 2000 years ago, and should not be treated as though they were. When The Passion of the Christ came out, there were all these JADL groups misattributing all kinds of apologetic statements to Nostra Aetate... Anyone? --Mrcolj 20:32, 28 October 2007 (UTC)
