The Centre
With the Declaration Nostra Aetate of the Second Vatican Council, the Catholic Church made an irrevocable commitment to pursue the path of dialogue, fraternity and friendship with the Jewish People.
The Cardinal Bea Centre of the Gregorian University - taking its name and inspiration from the far-seeing vision of the Jesuit Augustin Bea, the principal architect of the very declaration Nostra Aetate - is dedicated to the promotion of a theological knowledge and understanding of Judaism – from both a Jewish and a Christian perspective - as well as the teaching, research and academic exchanges between Christians and Jews, in order to foster a mutually enriching relationship.
