Cardinal Michael Fitzgerald Public Lecture (8 May)

Event Details

The Columban Centre for Christian-Muslim Relations and the Diocese of Parramatta present a public lecture by Cardinal Michael Fitzgerald entitled: “Interreligious Dialogue in our Day: 60 Years after Nostra Aetate” on Wednesday 8 May at 6pm at St Patrick’s Cathedral Hall, Parramatta.

Cardinal Michael Fitzgerald, M.Afr.OBE, former head of the Pontifical Council for Interreligious Dialogue, will talk on the developments inspired by Vatican II’s Nostra Aetate, the prophetic document which ushered in a new era in Catholic relations with people of other religions. The Church’s teaching and practice of inter-religious dialogue developed dramatically over these past 60 years but largely remains a “hidden treasure” which needs to be discovered.
