Vatican II text: Lumen Gentium chapter 16 — what it actually says about Jewish people, Muslims, and the unevangelized

Ben Shapiro, a Catholic Bishop and the Gospel. 00:09:43 – 00:11:14

Mike goes to the primary source Barron cited to evaluate his claim that Vatican II is 'very clear'

Mike reads Lumen Gentium 16. It notes that God 'does not repent of the gifts he makes nor of the calls he issues' regarding the Jewish people but says nothing specific about their eternal destiny. It says Muslims 'adore the one and merciful God.' It also addresses those who sincerely seek God and follow their conscience without having heard the gospel. Mike argues Vatican II is actually vague and does not clearly address Ben's specific case (a Jew who has heard of Jesus but rejected him).
