PROCLAMATION PROCESS OF NOSTRA AETATE: FROM DE JUDAEIS TO NOSTRA AETATE

Abstract

Nostra Aetate is one of the important documents of the Second Vatican Council. In this document the Church has been referred positively to other religions’ believers the first time in its history. Despite it was originally planned as a declaration for the Jews only, but under the various changes in the consular process, it became a document about believers of non-Christian religions including the Muslims. In this article we will deal with how the Decretum de Judaeis, the first draft of the document, came to Nostra Aetate. Then we will try to discuss how the different groups have reacted after the announcement of the text.

NOSTRA AETATE’NİN İLAN SÜRECİ:DE JUDAEIS’TEN NOSTRA AETATE’YE

Abstract

Nostra Aetate II. Vatikan Konsili’nin önemli belgelerinden biridir. Bu belgede Kilise, tarihinde ilk defa diğer din mensuplarından olumlu bir dille bahsetmektedir. Nevar ki bu metnin önce sadece Yahudilere yönelik bir deklerasyon olarak planlanmış, fakat konsil sürecinde çeşitli değişimlere uğrayarak en son Müslümanlar da dahil olmak üzere Hıristiyanlar dışındaki din mensuplarıyla ilgili bir belge halini almıştır. Biz burada Yahudilerle ilgili düşünülen ilk taslak olan Decretum de Judaeis’ten Nostra Aetate’ye nasıl gelindiğini ele alacağız. Ardından metinle ilgili farklı kesimlerden ne tür tepkiler geldiğini değerlendirmeye çalışacağız.
