John Paul II is highly appreciated by the Jews for the condemnation of anti-Jewish attitudes. The analysis of the Pope statements on the Jews and Judaism reveal his preference for using the term “anti-Semitism” to describe the whole of anti-Jewish prejudices. In his addresses to the Jews and to the Catholics he recognizes that erroneous and unjust interpretations of the New Testament regarding the Jewish people have circulated for too long engendering feelings of hostility towards the Jews. They contributed to the lulling of Christian consciences when the Nazis persecutions swept across Europe. The pagan, racial anti-Semitism of Nazis was a major element responsible for the Holocaust. John Paul II does not point to the historical, political or economical causes of that anti-Semitism. The Pope states that the Nazi politics proves what atrocities the man is capable of to set himself up in opposition to God and to combat every form of religion.

The subject of anti-Semitism has frequently been addressed in the Christian-Jewish dialogues. The article aims at analyzing the document The Church in the Face of Racism. A Contribution Towards a More Brotherly Society, issued in 1988 by the Pontifical Commission Iustitia et Pax, dealing with the question of the anti-Jewish attitudes from the historical and the racial perspectives. The Vatican Commission states that the Catholic Church has condemned the Nazi anti-Semitism and their policy and as a proof quotes the documents, announced before World War II: the encyclicals of Pope Pius XI Mit Brennender Sorge (1937), the non promulgated Humani generis unitas (1938), and the document of the Sacred Congregation of the Holy Office On the Annulment of the Association Called „Amici Israel” (1928). The article aims to prove that although the mentioned pre-war documents condemned Nazism and anti-Semitism, they contained some anti-Jewish passages and generated anti-Semitic attitudes. On the other hand the document of the Commission Iustitia et Pax takes up the question of the anti-Zionism which is not very often considered in other declarations of the Catholic Church. Condemning the racial prejudices including anti-Semitism The Church in the Face of Racism underscores that every human being is created in the likeness and image of God and stresses the principal rights of men and women. This perspective forms basis for the modern cooperation between Catholics and Jews in the fields of human dignity, religious freedom and tolerance.

Two Counciliar documents deal with the Moslems and Islam: the Dogmatic Constitution on the Church “Lumen Gentium” nr 16, announced by the Council in November, 1964, and the declaration on the Relationship of the Church to Non-Christian Religions “Nostra Aetate” nr 3, accepted in October, 1965. The first one says that the Moslems who worship the one and merciful God belong to the people of God. The declaration deals especially with Hinduism, Buddhism, Islam and the Jewish religion. It emphasizes that the Moslems adore the one God, living and subsisting in himself, merciful and all-powerful, who is the Creator of heaven and earth. They revere Jesus as a prophet and they also honour Mary and even call on her with devotion. At the beginning of the Council the Secretariat for Promoting of Christian Unity, which was responsible for the preparation of that declaration, considered an elaboration of an originally very short statement on Jews. After the discussion during the second and third sessions (in 1963 and 1964) it prepared a longer document describing also the relation of the Church to other religions mentioned above. The article shows the Counciliar discussion on the declaration “Nostra Aetate” in the perspective of Islam and it explains the final version of that part of the document.
