Summary/Abstract: This article focuses on the path of ecumenism beginning with the roots of the first division between Israel and the Church, the mother of all other subsequent divisions throughout history. The author’s central position is that returning to unity implies undergoing the process of reconciliation between Israel and the Church. This means definitively leaving behind the theology of supersessionism in the wake of the achievements made from the Second Vatican Council onwards. This paper argues that the ecclesiological bridge between Israel and the Church is provided by Messianic Jews who have reappeared after 2,000 years of absence. They should be considered the remnant of Israel, a tertium datur (or third way), of which the Letter to the Romans speaks.
