Answer 1

The most reasonable inference is: **Since the Second Vatican Council, the Catholic Church has more openly embraced ecumenical and interreligious dialogue.**While there have been instances of dialogue and interaction throughout history, the Second Vatican Council (1962-1965) marked a significant shift towards formal and positive engagement with other Christian denominations and other religions. Documents like *Nostra Aetate* specifically addressed the relationship of the Catholic Church with non-Christian religions, promoting respect and dialogue. Therefore, while some dialogue may have existed previously, it was after Vatican II that a more official and open approach became a defining characteristic of the Church's stance.
