 | | Today I would like to recall the five documents that the Servant of God, Pope Paul VI, and the conciliar fathers signed on that Oct. 28 of 1965. |
 | | They are the decree "Christus Dominus," on the pastoral ministry of bishops; the decree "Perfectae Caritatis," on the renewal of religious life; the decree "Optatam Totius," on priestly formation; the declaration "Gravissimum Educationis," on Christian education and, finally, the declaration "Nostra Aetate," on the relations of the Church with non-Christian religions. |
 | | The topics of the formation of priests, of consecrated life and of episcopal ministry were the object of three ordinary assemblies of the Synod of Bishops, held respectively in 1990, in 1995 and in 2001. |
