- We hold the Jewish people in special regard because their covenant with God has never been revoked, for "the gifts and the call of God are irrevocable" . The Church, which shares with Jews an important part of the sacred Scriptures, looks upon the people of the covenant and their faith as one of the sacred roots of her own Christian identity . As Christians, we cannot consider Judaism as a foreign religion; nor do we include the Jews among those called to turn from idols and to serve the true God . With them, we believe in the one God who acts in history, and with them we accept his revealed word. (en)
- [B]ecause as Christians we know that God's covenant with Israel by God's faithfulness is not broken , mission understood as call to conversion from idolatry to the living and true God does not apply and cannot be applied to Jews.[...] This is not a merely abstract theological affirmation, but an affirmation that has concrete and tangible consequences; namely, that there is no organised Catholic missionary activity towards Jews as there is for all other non-Christian religions.
