Pope Benedict XVI invoked the dictatorship of relativism in his homily at the Mass in Bellahouston Park in Scotland today.
Addressing a packed park filled with Scottish Catholics, Pope Benedict returned to a theme that has marked his papacy from the beginning, the “dictatorship of relativism” which "threatens to obscure the unchanging truth about man’s nature, his destiny and his ultimate good”.
He continued: “There are some who now seek to exclude religious belief from public discourse, to privatise it or even to paint it as a threat to equality and liberty. Yet religion is in fact a guarantee of authentic liberty and respect, leading us to look upon every person as a brother or sister."
