Abstract

The declaration of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, Dominus Iesus, has frequently been misunderstood. It does not assert that Catholicism is the sole path to salvation and it has a number of important points to affirm. Yet some of its judgments in regard to other churches may go beyond what was actually taught by Vatican II. If this is so, the congregation has exceeded its authority and runs the risk of closing off theological dialogue.
