Description
Summary:The publication of the Second Vatican Council's Nostrae aetate in 1965 signaled a marked change in the view that Roman Catholics had toward world religions. However, well before that time, U.S. Catholics had begun to explore questions related to Catholicism's place among religions found around the world. Both in theory and in practice, the work of John J. Keane at the World Parliament of Religions, Charles F. Aiken and John Montgomery Cooper at the Catholic University of America, and Medical Missionary Sisters foundress, Anna Dengel, laid the foundation for a more positive view of non-Catholic religions, in spite of the overcast of Modernism.
