The Catholic Bishops and Quebec Nationalism

Gregory Baum was a theological priest expert at the Second Vatican Council (1962-1965) and was one of the drafters of the Council document Nostra Aetate, which repudiated anti-Semitism and radically helped change the relationship of Catholicism to Judaism. As well he contributed to the Decree on Ecumenism, which launched the ecumenical movement after Vatican II. Baum was a professor of theology and sociology at Saint Michael's College in the University of Toronto and, after 1986, a professor of theological ethics at McGill University's Faculty of Religious Studies.
