Study Day: Inter Faith Dialogue with Cardinal Michael Fitzgerald

This year marks sixty years since Nostra Aetate, the document on relations with other Faiths of the Second Vatican Council. Cardinal Michael Fitzgerald worked for decades in this area, particularly in the Vatican’s Pontifical Council for Interreligious Dialogue. Cardinal Michael spoke on ‘Inter Faith Dialogue’ on Saturday 22nd February at the Catholic Church of Christ the Eternal High Priest, Gidea Park.

A recording of the two parts of the event is available at the link below.


Welcome to What Good News!

The Christian message is good news. That is essentially what ‘gospel’ means.

Our reaction as believers to the message of Jesus, and that of millions of people throughout the last two thousand years, has been one of gratitude.

With the apostle Paul we pray: ‘May the word of Christ in all its richness find a home in you.’ (Colossians 3:16)
