The Pope and the Curia think globally. There IS a 'relativism' afoot which more or less equates all world religions as 'relatively' equal--and 'relatively' good. However, there is only one true religion. And, of course, any philosophy which cannot perfectly reconcile Truth, Beauty, and Goodness is 'relative' in the broad sense.

I completely agree with Miller; few in the academic world make appeals to what is properly understood as relativism, but rather to philosophical systems which make serious and rational claims about reality and truth. But the problem is of course that at least in the larger society (as far as I have experienced) appealing to irrationality is widespread and even entrenched. Wow - excellent post.
