The dictionary defintion of relativism is: the doctrine that knowledge, truth, and morality exist in relation to culture, society, or historical context, and are not absolute. In other words, there is no absolute right or wrong, no absolute good or evil, and, of course, no religion which possesses the whole and absolute truth about God (who may or may not exist) and our relationship with Him.
In this short video (7 minutes), Brian Holdsworth, the pride of St. Albert AB, takes a closer look at relativism, and why it's totally incompatible with being a Catholic. So also with socialism. You can't be a "Catholic socialist" or a "socialist Catholic", or, for that matter, a "liberal Catholic" or a "conservative Catholic". Can one describe oneself as a "traditional Catholic"? This video certainly got me thinking, so I commend it to you.
