W pierwszych latach działalności stronę katolicką reprezentowali specjaliści z dziedziny dialogu chrześcijańsko-żydowskiego. 22.10.1970 r. papież Paweł VI utworzył Komisję ds. Kontaktów Religijnych z Judaizmem, od tego czasu przedstawicielami Kościoła są członkowie i doradcy watykańskiej Komisji.

• Commission of the Holy See for Religious Relations with the Jews
  (...)
  7. With this increasing appreciation within the Jewish world of “the strategic importance of the relationship with the Catholic Church, and even of the theological as well as moral imperatives for deepening this mutual relationship, the opportunity to work together for the establishment of the Kingdom of Heaven on earth” becomes our common imperative.
  8. The bilateral commission reiterated its repudiation of the instrumentalization of religion for violent ends, and reaffirmed the obligation that our religions demand to preserve the sanctity and dignity of human life. In this regard, religion must not be part of the problem but must be part of the solution.

• Cardinal Bea Centre for Judaic Studies.
  The Cardinal Bea Centre of the Gregorian University — taking its name and inspiration from the farsighted vision of the Jesuit Augustin Bea, principal architect of the Declaration Nostra Aetate — promotes the knowledge of Judaism and its theological aspect starting from both a Jewish and a Christian perspective. This takes place through teaching, research, and academic exchange between Christians and Jews, aimed at fostering relationships that produce mutual enrichment.
  The Vision: With the Declaration Nostra Aetate of the Second Vatican Council in 1965, the Catholic Church embarked on a journey of dialogue, fraternity, and friendship with the Jewish people. The relation to Judaism is part of the Church’s identity: “The Jewish religion is not ‘extrinsic’ to us, but in a certain way, is ‘intrinsic’ to our religion” (John Paul II, "Discourse at the Rome Synagogue", 13 April 1986). Receiving professors, students, and friends of the Cardinal Bea Centre on 28 February 2019, Pope Francis reiterated the importance of the Centre as “the Catholic Church’s premier program in Jewish Studies” and expressed special appreciation for “the witness of Jewish and Catholic instructors who teach together”.
