The Church fights this "based solely on the Gospel." Leo XIV mentioned John Paul II

Pope Leo XIV emphasized the Church's rejection of anti-Semitism during a dialogue on interfaith relations, highlighting the importance of mutual respect and human dignity. He reaffirmed the Church's commitment to combating anti-Semitism based on the Gospel, especially on the 60th anniversary of the 'Nostra Aetate' declaration. The Pope noted that deep differences in opinion should not lead to prejudice or hostility, which undermine societal morals. He also acknowledged the contributions of St. John Paul II in fostering Jewish-Catholic friendships and stressed the urgent need for brotherhood in a world marked by violence and distrust, advocating for gestures that promote peace.
