I actually wasn’t sure where to start or how to approach this essay. My notes and list of problematic quotes taken from the document alone ran to almost 16 pages.In what could only be called an astonishing feat, the Vatican’s note A Journey of Hope, subtitled Sixty Years of Interreligious Dialogue and Fraternity in the Light of the Conciliar Declaration Nostra Aetate, manages, in almost every single one of its 60 paragraphs, to disqualify itself from being the work of the Catholic Church.Sixty years after this reprehensibly heretical document was foisted upon Christendom, the Vatican has now, unwittingly, provided us with an unusually candid description of exactly why Nostra Aetate, and the beast that spawned it, is not Catholic in any way, shape, or form.
