Relativism; what kind of Truth is it?

Since my blog is partially called "Seeking Truth"  I am finding it very important to understand this term, relativism.

Ok, I will admit this a new word for me,  but seems to be coming up in the literature I've been reading lately and seems to be tied into the current debate of civil unions and gay marriage.  Relativism is the philosophy that there is no objective or absolute truths that everything is "relative." No longer does the culture seem to believe that marriage is between a woman and a man.  As I mentioned in a recent facebook post that I fear if we cross this line of same sex marriage, what will be next? We will constantly redefine marriage as we go into the future. Pope Emeritus Benedict called Relativism "as the greatest problem of our time and announced that our society is building a dictatorship of relativism." 

In the near future I will devote some time to this topic so stand by until after Easter. In the meantime, have a joyous Easter. I believe when Jesus died on the cross he certainly knew the absolute truth and tried to spread it. Let us use Easter to try and get back some of that truth that he carried with him.
