A reader asks…

You are a very studious Catholic man, who has made me rethink my Catholic world view as a Catholic individual in a positive light. I want to thank you for this!

My question to you is this. Do you know of any good reading material regarding moral relativism (apologetic perspective) and how to respond to those who hold this world view and attempt to debunk our Catholic faith by suggesting that there is no absolute truth.

Basically the response I get is that there is no absolute truth and differing religions claim to obtain absolute truth. This leads to skepticism among all religions and determining which one “if any” actually can say their world view obtains absolute truth.

I have a family member who has claimed to have turned agnostic and has challenged me on a philosophical level about truth and truth being subjective according to differing point of views.

Thank You in advance if you have time.

Can’t think of a better place to start than with Peter Kreeft’s A Refutation of Moral Relativism. Tolle, lege!
