{{Main |Pope Paul VI and Ecumenism}}
During Vatican II, the council fathers avoided statements that might anger non-Catholic Christians.{{Sfn|Hebblethwaite|1993}}{{Page needed|date=January 2014}} Cardinal [[Augustin Bea]], the President of the [[Dicastery for Promoting Christian Unity|Christian Unity Secretariat]], always had the full support of Paul VI in his attempts to ensure that the Council language was friendly and open to the sensitivities of Protestant and Orthodox churches, whom he had invited to all sessions at the request of [[Pope John XXIII]]. Bea also was strongly involved in the passage of ''[[Nostra aetate]]'', which regulates the Church's relations with [[Judaism]] and members of other religions.{{Efn|28 October 1965.}}
