Sacrificing the Holy on the Altar of Man.
Satan promotes relativism because he seeks absolute power. It’s a sleight of tongue thing, a lie that vivifies shadows.
Modernists, buying into the lie, promulgate relativism by reducing God to an interior impulse that evolves through time. Thus goes the divinization of man.
The synodal church, a shade of the real Church, endorses relativism by elevating human dignity and diminishing repentance for sins, thereby downplaying God’s grace and inflating human pride.
Postconciliar ecumenism doubles down on the divination of humanity and, in doing so, opens the floodgates to anything goes. ¡Todos, todos, todos —as long as it’s not Traditional Catholicism.
For Modernists, relativism reigns supreme, and, to quote Black Sabbath, “Satan, laughing, spreads his wings.”
Relativists are absolutists in disguise. Another sleight of hand, another demonic scheme.
In Against the Flow: The Inspiration of Daniel in an Age of Relativism, author John C. Lennox summarizes the situation:
Such relativization of the absolute is endemic in the “pick and mix” postmodern society of our own century, especially in the West. Whether you believe in Jesus, Buddha, the Beatles, crystals, mother earth, or anything else that takes your interest, all are held to be on the same footing; all have equal validity for the relativist. Indeed, many people [including postconciliar Catholics] are convinced that this is by far the safest position to adopt.
Safe, indeed:
- In 1999, John Paul II kissed the Koran.
- In 2023, Francis approved blessings for same sex couples.
- In 2025, Leo XIV allowed a designated Muslim prayer room in the Vatican’s Apostolic Library. In the same year, he met with “Buddhists, religious leaders from Jain, Jewish, Muslim, and Sikh communities” to reflect “the Vatican’s ongoing commitment to multi-faith engagement.”
“Our common path can and must also be understood in the broad sense of involving everyone in the spirit of human fraternity. . . . Now is the time for dialogue and building bridges,” Leo told the mishmash of world faiths.
“I am therefore pleased and grateful for the presence of representatives of other religious traditions, who share the search for God and his will, which is always and only the will of love and life for men and women and for all creatures.”
Right. Kumbaya. Peachy keen.
