Chris Seeman is professor of theology at Walsh University in North Canton, Ohio. He chairs the Catholic Biblical Association's task force on "Addressing Representations of Jews and Judaism in Catholic Exegesis, Homiletics, and Catechesis."
Despite Nostra Aetate's goal, absolving Jews of deicide was only the tip of an iceberg of vilification that would need to be dismantled if the church were to free itself from antisemitism.
