Hello everybody,

I’m curious where I could find literature concerning the official position of the Catholic Church with respect to various other religions. I’ve read some of the apologetic tracts here on Catholic Answers, as well as those of other Catholic apologetic sites, and while it gives me a very rudimentary idea of the “Catholic opinion” about other religions, I think it’s more reflective of the authors’ opinions of those particular tracts.

Is there any resource for something official? I couldn’t find anything perusing the Vatican’s website. Any help is appreciated.

Thank you!
 
The Catechism of the Catholic Church summarizes official Church teachings.

See 817-819 for the Church’s position towards other Christians

See 839-845 for the Church’s position regarding non-Christian religions
