In 2010 the Guardian newspaper published an article entitled “Pope gives top job to abortion hardliner”.
Pope Benedict XVI, the article claimed, “has handed one of the most powerful jobs in the Vatican to a Cardinal who said recently...” – get this – “...that abortion was wrong”.
The surprise expressed in the Guardian article is indicative of a philosophy that has captured Western civilisation, and destroyed the minds of its many adherents: moral relativism.
“Moral Practice has always been difficult for fallen humanity, but at least there was always the lighthouse of moral principles, no matter how stormy the sea of moral practice got,” says the philosopher Peter Kreeft.
