Question:
Answer:
No. The most recent statement from the Vatican I can find that addresses the issue of Christian evangelism to Jews is The Gifts and the Calling of God Are Irrevocable, released in 2015 by the Commission for Religious Relations with the Jews. The document was intended as a reflection on the fiftieth anniversary of the promulgation of Nostra Aetate by the Second Vatican Council. In sections five and six of this reflection, the commission discusses “the universality of salvation in Jesus Christ and God’s unrevoked covenant with Israel” and “the Church’s mandate to evangelize to Judaism.” Among other things, the commission states:
Since God has never revoked his covenant with his people Israel, there cannot be different paths or approaches to God’s salvation. The theory that there may be two different paths to salvation, the Jewish path without Christ and the path with the Christ, whom Christians believe is Jesus of Nazareth, would in fact endanger the foundations of Christian faith. Confessing the universal and therefore also exclusive mediation of salvation through Jesus Christ belongs to the core of Christian faith (35).
The Catholic Church neither conducts nor supports any specific institutional mission work directed toward Jews. While there is a principled rejection of an institutional Jewish mission, Christians are nonetheless called to bear witness to their faith in Jesus Christ also to Jews, although they should do so in a humble and sensitive manner, acknowledging that Jews are bearers of God’s Word, and particularly in view of the great tragedy of the Shoah (40).
It should be noted that the Commission’s statement is prefaced with this disclaimer:
The text is not a magisterial document or doctrinal teaching of the Catholic Church but is a reflection prepared by the Commission for Religious Relations with the Jews on current theological questions that have developed since the Second Vatican Council.
