The title I have here comes from how Pope Benedict XVI describes relativism. Since the topic of Relativism was a part of our discussion last Thursday, check out this great article by Christopher Cuddy, "The Year of St. Paul in an Age of Relativism" in the National Catholic Register.
In this article, Cuddy gives us disturbing trends that must be addressed by Catholics. Results from a Pew Research Institute poll cites 77% of Catholics thinking that "there is more than one true way to interpret my religion"; 57% believe that Catholic teaching "should adjust to fit new circumstances." Bewildering to say the least. There is no doubt that relativism is a dominant philosophical idea; an illogical one at that, but dominant.
This is why I think attending the class "The Four Pillars of Faith" is so important. The Bishops of the United States have a good thing going; we need to learn our faith so that we can counter the spread of relativism.
