By Fr Alexander Lucie-Smith, Catholic Herald - Two great resources that we have at our disposal are Fides et Ratio and Veritatis Splendor, both encyclicals of Saint John Paul II. Both are calls to humanity to realise that subjectivity is not the last word; there is objective moral truth and that objective truth that we can reach through reason. Both offer opposition to what Benedict XVI so memorably termed the dictatorship of relativism – the absolute (and self-contradictory) belief that all beliefs are subjective.
