Study on Catholic Church Attitude

摘要

Since the end of the Second World War and the unveiling of the Holocaust committed by Nazi, the Catholic Church has begun to examine its standpoint and sought methods to improve the relationship with other religious groups including Jewry. The change of the Catholic Church's attitude towards Jewry is a progressive process. The post-war Christian democratic movement in Catholic countries is important force, which drives the change of the Catholic Church's attitude towards Jewry. During the period of the Second Vatican Council, great pressure from public opinions was carried by the Catholic Church. Therefore, Nostra Aetate became a hot topic among people all over the world since its emergence.
