The Dictatorship of Relativism

I thought it worth quoting the Catholic World News story at more lenght regadring Cardinal Ratzinger's homily to a pro eligendo summo Pontifice (for the election of the Supreme Pontiff) Mass today concelebrated with the 115 cardinal electors:

In a further meditation on the Letter to the Ephesians, the cardinal focused on St. Paul's remarks about those who are "tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine." That description, he said, captures the troubles of the current age. "The little ship bearing the thoughts of many Christians has often been shaken," he explained, mentioning the ideological forces "from Marxism to liberalism, even to libertarianism; from collectivism to radical individualism; from atheism to a vague mysticism; from agnosticism to syncretism." In our era, he said, "a dictatorship of relativism is being formed," which the faith must oppose.

"Dictatorship of Relativism" -- what a powerful phrase. I hope the cardinals took that homily to heart and will bear it in mind during this conclave. It's homilies like that cause me to hope that when the white smoke does rise, it's Ratzinger who appears at the balcony.

Bravo Cardinal.In his"In a further............which the faith muse oppose." he answered to mine worry I have for many days. His words say what I was not able, due many things and what Jan Paul II was practicing all his years as a Pope.

Relativism (postmodernism) must be opposed. Even if this means persecution.
