Last year Cardinal Ratzinger, head of the Vatican's Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, addressed gatherings of 80 bishops and of the presidents of the doctrinal commissions of the bishops' conferences of Latin America, on the subject of Relativism as the central problem for the Faith today. In religion, what he calls relativism is what most writers in this area today call pluralism. He says of the 'so-called pluralist theology of religion" that "only now has it come to the centre of the Christian conscience". On studying the text I find that Cardinal Ratzinger, speaking of contemporary religious pluralism, identifies me as "one of its founders and eminent representatives' (p. 150).
