Dicastery for Interreligious Dialogue, Rome

Dicastery for Interreligious Dialogue is the central office of the Catholic Church for promoting interreligious dialogue in accordance with the spirit of the Second Vatican Council, in particular the declaration Nostra Aetate. It has the following responsibilities: 1) to promote mutual understanding, respect and collaboration between Catholics and the followers of other religious traditions; 2) to encourage the study of religions; and 3) to promote the formation of persons dedicated to dialogue.
