Moral relativism is extremely dangerous. You can justify anything with moral relativism.

I’m surprised it is not called rigidism.Yes, but also rigidity is to be avoided.

See but some people have kidnapped Pope Francis to support their left wing political bias. They think he is cool and would allow people to create their own version of the truth.December 31
Francis of Assisi tells us we should work to build peace, But there is no peace without truth! There cannot be true peace if everyone is his own criterion, if everyone can always claim exclusively his own rights, without at the same time caring for the good of others, of everyone, on the basis of the nature that unites every human being on this earth. – Address, March 22, 2013

Pope Benedict:
Commentary by the Practical Catholic.
“Pope Benedict does not play language games, he is unconcerned with the postmodernist’s corner on untruth. Neither should we be. Notice how he calls relativism a “dictatorship” instead of agreeing that no values and no Truth are the way forward for society. What many fail to recognize is that imposing nihilism and arbitrary tribalism is a form of dictatorship. Where untruth or half truth is the common order, there can only be oppression. Political correctness has asked us to abandon our value-laden language and to pick up a new language proper to the secular forum. However, this secular newspeak is value-laden against the traditional claims of the Western world and as such, is a poison rather than a new order. We can and should bring our own conviction laden language to the table, if we’re going to have any sort of real dialogue at all. Misinformation and restrained convictions are not the proper building blocks for a democracy.”
Commentary by Me.
“Radical individualism” is a threat. It leads to the breaking up of society into tribal groups. This type of pluralism fragments society. Truth is absolute. There can be no two right answers.
Code:
We are moving toward a dictatorship of relativism which does not recognize anything as for certain and which has as its highest goal one’s own ego and one’s own desires. The church must defend itself against threats such as “radical individualism” and “vague religious mysticism”.
