The Catholic Church’s relationship to Judaism as taught by the Second Vatican Council and the interpretations and developments of that teaching by subsequent popes, “are binding on a Catholic,” said the Vatican official responsible for relations with the Jews, reports the Catholic News Service.http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/cathnews/RSS/~4/R7H8hkJc_qI

The Catholic Church rejects nothing that is true and holy in these religions. She regards with sincere reverence those ways of conduct and of life, those precepts and teachings which, though differing in many aspects from the ones she holds and sets forth, nonetheless often reflect a ray of that Truth which enlightens all men. Indeed, she proclaims, and ever must proclaim Christ “the way, the truth, and the life” (John 14:6), in whom men may find the fullness of religious life, in whom God has reconciled all things to Himself.(4)
The Church, therefore, exhorts her sons, that through dialogue and collaboration with the followers of other religions, carried out with prudence and love and in witness to the Christian faith and life, they recognize, preserve and promote the good things, spiritual and moral, as well as the socio-cultural values found among these men.
Just a small quote. It is through understanding like this that we can work together with Jews, Muslims, Hindus and others on campaigns against abortion, pornography, sex trafficking and other evils. When Catholics malign those of other faiths, we lose allies in the fight against moral relativism and depravation.
 
For that matter, the entirety of the teaching of Vatican II is binding on Catholics.
