Abstract

The authors of the study were intrigued by the non-magisterial statement of Pope emeritus Benedict XVI that ‘the mission to the Jews was not expected and not necessary. The proclamation to all nations [...] is a task left to us by Christ and therefore the missionary commission is universal, with one exception. Missions among Jews were not expected and were not necessary because they were the only ones among all nations who knew ‘an Unknown God’. Thus, Israel is not approached by the missions, but rather a dialogue about whether Jesus of Nazareth is ‘the Son of God, Logos’ who is awaited by Israel based on a promise and, unknowingly, the whole of humanity.’ The study focuses on whether, when and by what magisterial document the teaching of the Catholic Church on Christ as the only Redeemer of all people has changed, on the necessity of the universal proclamation of salvation to all nations and on the necessity of baptism for salvation by the fact that the aforementioned different opinion appeared in the documents of The Magisterium of the Church or that it is only an opinion that the Church has not accepted yet.
