On September 25, 2015, a new bronze sculpture near the chapel of Saint Joseph’s University in Philadelphia was dedicated to mark the fiftieth anniversary of the Second Vatican Council’s 1965 declaration, Nostra Aetate, its “Declaration on the Relation of the Church to Non-Christian Religions.” 1 Two days later, Pope Francis blessed the statue of two similar female figures seated side by side, one holding a Torah scroll, the other holding a Bible (figures 1 and 7). The title of the work, Synagoga and Ecclesia In Our Time, points backwards and forwards chronologically: “Synagoga and Ecclesia” refers to the long-standing Christian tradition, born in thirteenth-century Europe, of depicting the Church as a confident and victorious female figure in contrast to the defeated and broken female figure of Synagogue; 2 “In Our Time” translates the declaration’s opening Latin words, “nostra aetate.” This declaration’s fourth paragraph redirected Catholic discourse on Judaism. The sculpture also attempts to embody ideas that have emerged in the half-century since the council and that, in December 2015, found their most recent official articulation in the Pontifical Council for Religious Relations with the Jews’ publication of “The Gifts and the Calling of God are Irrevocable” (Rom. 11:29): A Reflection on Theological Questions Pertaining to Catholic-Jewish Relations on the Occasion of the 50 th Anniversary of “Nostra Aetate” (No.4). 3
