It has been issued by the Committee on Doctrine and the Committee on Ecumenical and Inter Religious Affairs of the USCCB. It affirms Pope John Paul II‘s teaching that inter religious dialogue is a part of evangelisation. It indicates that Judaism is not a path to salvation. Jews need Catholic Faith and the Baptism of water to go to Heaven (and avoid Hell) and that when a Catholic meets a Jew in Boston, or elsewhere in the USA, he could tell him or her that the Catholic Church teaches that he or she needs to convert for salvation.

What a wonderful way for the U.S. bishops to honor St. Paul at the end of the year devoted to his memory! They have defended and expounded the true teaching of the Apostle to the Gentiles on the conversion of the Israelites-according-to-the-flesh. Praise be to God!
