Pope John XXIII and the Jews: Rabbi - Professor of history lecture (open to public - Eck Visitors' Center) - April 20, 2015, 7 p.m.

Historian David Dalin of Ave Maria University and author of numerous books, including "Religion and State in the American Jewish Experience,"  will examine the history of  Pope John's relationship with the Jewish people from his role as a Vatican diplomat saving lives in Nazi-occupied Europe to his convening of the Second Vatican Council and encouragement of the promulgation of "Nostra Aetate," the Council's declaration on non-Christian religions that profoundly transformed Christian-Jewish relations.

The lecture (Monday, April 20, 2015) is free and open to the public; it is sponsored by the Natural Law Institute, the Institute for Church Life, the Center for Ethics and Culture, the Rooney Center, and the Tocqueville Program.
