You completely mis-understood ex-Pope Benedict XVI

So he says...

"...relativism, which is letting oneself be 'tossed here and there by every wind of doctrine' seems the only attitude that can cope with modern times. We are building a dictatorship of relativism that does not recognise anything as definitive and leaves as the ultimate criterion only the self and its desires..."

I do not believe this is what relativism is. Relativism as I understand it in a cultural context is the acceptance and appreciation of different cultures customs and the recognition of other cultural values as valid and as part of the wonderful diversity of the world's populations.
