Sadly Pope Benedict XV1 in his ..

"On Wednesday, in his first message as pope, Benedict called for "open and sincere dialogue" with other religions. But what does dialogue mean for him? In "Dominus Jesus" of 2000, his ringing millennial statement about the need for the Catholic Church's primacy over the world, Benedict gave his carefully considered answer. He calls for a world imperial church. He denigrates other religions as not being true religions or paths to salvation. He does mandate that, when in dialogue, the church must show respect for "the equal personal dignity of the parties" — but not for their religions. The church's dialogue with other religions, Benedict declares, "must be primarily committed to … announcing the necessity of conversion to Jesus Christ and adherence to the Church through baptism, and the other sacraments.""

condemnation of relativism exudes the arrogance and insularity of one who has looked humanism in
the face and been unable to seriously contemplate the intrinsic value, and the inherent wisdom of it.

So let it be. The man has long ago committed himself to be one of a series of, Hans Brinkers .. until his dying day.

After all his belief is, as more will inevitably continue to see, a simple literary invention. Yup, I suggest simple in the nicest way possible .. for me.
