In recent times, its teaching has been most notably expressed in the Vatican II council documents Unitatis Redintegratio ( 1964 ), Lumen Gentium ( 1964 ), Nostra aetate ( 1965 ), an encyclical issued by Pope John Paul II: Ut Unum Sint ( 1995 ), and in a document issued by the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, Dominus Iesus in 2000.

In 1965, the watershed statement Nostra Aetate, of the Second Vatican Council then repudiated all forms of anti-Semitism as having no place within Christian life.

In response to changing mores, and by extending historical gestures of friendship on the part of the Holy See particularly since the Second Vatican Council, 1962 – 1965, as expressed in the Apostolic Constitution, Nostra Aetate no.

The Second Vatican Council, commonly known as Vatican II, which closed in 1965, was instrumental in producing the document called Nostra Aetate, which read in part:

The WJC has managed to establish good relations with the Catholic Church, especially since the Second Vatican Council and the Declaration Nostra Aetate in 1965.

He was an advocate of reform at the Second Vatican Council ( 1962 – 1965 ), serving on its preparatory commissions and greatly contributing to its declaration on non-Christian religions, Nostra Aetate.

As colonial rule was ending throughout the continent and as African-majority governments assumed control in neighbouring Northern Rhodesia and in Nyasaland, the white-minority Rhodesia government led by Ian Smith made a Unilateral Declaration of Independence ( UDI ) from the United Kingdom on 11 November 1965, effectively repudiating the British plan that the country should become a multi-racial democracy.

Despite the Rhodesian Constitution of 1965 coming into effect as a result of the Unilateral Declaration of Independence, appeals continued to be accepted by the Privy Council as late as 1969 due to the fact that under international law, Rhodesia remained a UK colony.
