Joint Declaration on the Doctrine of Justification information
1999 text resulting from an extensive ecumenical dialogue
See also: Justification (Theology)
The Joint Declaration on the Doctrine of Justification (JDDJ) is a document created and agreed to by the Catholic Church's Pontifical Council for Promoting Christian Unity (PCPCU) and the Lutheran World Federation in 1999 as a result of Catholic–Lutheran dialogue. It states that the churches now share "a common understanding of our justification by God's grace through faith in Christ."[1] To the parties involved, this substantially resolves much of the 500-year-old conflict over the nature of justification which was at the root of the Protestant Reformation.
As of 2017, the bodies representing 75% of the world's Christians have formally affirmed the Joint Declaration; however it is not without controversy.
