President of the University of Notre Dame, announced Monday (March 16) that the 2015-16 Notre Dame Forum, Faith, Freedom and the Modern World: 50 Years After Vatican II, will commemorate the 50th anniversary of the promulgation of pivotal documents of the Second Vatican Council that have resonance today. The forum will highlight the Declaration on Non-Christian Religions ( Nostra aetate), the Declaration on Religious Liberty ( Dignitatis humanae) and the Pastoral Constitution on the Church in the Modern World ( Gaudium et Spes). “The defense of religious freedom, the fostering of inter-faith and ecumenical dialogue and the vigorous engagement of the Church with the modern world are salient issues for us today,” Father Jenkins said. “The golden jubilee of transformative documents of the Council makes this a particularly appropriate time to consider some of the Council’s most urgent teachings.” The 2015 Notre Dame Forum will begin with a conference on March 22, sponsored by Notre Dame’s. Other events are being planned for the 2015-16 academic year that will be centered on religious freedom and inter-faith dialogue and related issues.
Future events will be announced at a later date. The “Joy and Hope” conference will convene a group of leading international scholars to explore the central themes of Gaudium et Spes, which is widely regarded as the most authoritative summary of Catholic social teaching. The conference opens with a Mass celebrated by Cardinal Wilfrid Napier, OFM, archbishop of Durban, South Africa, on Sunday and continues through Tuesday (March 24). Speakers include Cardinal Napier; Miroslav Volf, Henry B.
