Dominus Iesus

Dominus Iesus is a document from the Catholic Church issued in 2000 that emphasizes the unique role of Jesus Christ in salvation. It affirms that Jesus is the exclusive path to salvation and that the Church, as founded by Christ, is the full means of sharing in that salvation. While respecting other religions and acknowledging their value, the document clarifies that they are not equal to or substitutes for the truth found in Christ and the Catholic Church. Its goal is to clarify Catholic teachings on salvation and the importance of faith in Jesus.
