Ponder This:
“Three things are necessary
for the salvation of man: to
know what he ought to believe;
to know what he ought to de-
sire; and to know what he
ought to do.”
—Saint Thomas Aquinas
SIXTEENTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME
T he apostles gathered together with
Jesus and reported all they had done
and taught. He said to them, “Come
away by yourselves to a deserted place and rest
a while.” People were coming and going in
great numbers, and they had no opportunity
even to eat. So they went off in the boat by
themselves to a deserted place. People saw
them leaving and many came to know about it.
They hastened there on foot from all the towns
and arrived at the place before them.
When he disembarked and saw the vast
crowd, his heart was moved with pity for them,
for they were like sheep without a shepherd;
and he began to teach them many things.

deacon’s corner Conversations at Table
EXISTENTIAL NULLITY WITH ALL THINGS BEING RELATIVE
Deacon Chuck Lanham
W HO AM I? Or perhaps the question should be, “Am I?” There is no need to ask who you are for you are
nothing but a figment of my imagination, that is of course assuming my imagination isn’t just my imagi-
nation, yet then again it’s all relative, isn’t it. Perhaps I exist only in some dystopian reality such as de-
picted in the film The Matrix and I am nothing more than an energy source and what I see and feel and experience isn’t
real at all but rather merely what I imagine it to be.
All things being relative, what is real is only real because I believe it is real. There are no absolute truths, no mor-
al principles upon which I must feel obligated; neither can truth be determined by my mind and reason. Everything
that I see, feel, and experience, all that I know and conceive is relative to my perception of reality, to my frame of ref-
erence, to my point of view. What is of any value is subjective; it is what I perceive it to be. If reality fails to meet my
expectations or needs, all I have to do is take a pill, blink an eye, nod my head, or sneeze it into a new reality. After
all, it’s all relative.
In 1992 in the matter of Planned Parenthood v. Casey, Justice Anthony Kennedy wrote that “at the heart of liber-
ty is the right to define one’s own concept of existence, of meaning, of the universe and of the mystery of human life.”
Imagine that! Not only is the U.S. Supreme Court a bevy of superior legal minds (relatively speaking, of course) but of
even greater import they are, at least in their own minds, extraordinarily gifted for their metaphysical acumen.
More recently, in the decision to Obergefell v. Hodges, Justice and self-aggrandizing metaphysicist Kennedy
doubled-down on his earlier endorsement of metaphysical relativism and squared it with identity politics by declaring
that “the Constitution promises liberty to all within its reach, a liberty that includes certain specific rights that allow
persons, within a lawful realm, to define and express their identity.” Apparently, without this extra-judicial constitu-
tional promise, our identities would be existentially undefined, unidentified, and null.
Now compare and contrast Potentate-for-life Kennedy’s unabashed adoration and sycophancy upon the altar of
relativism with what Pope Saint John Paul II wrote in his encyclical Evangelium Vitae (The Gospel of Life):
“Freedom negates and destroys itself, and becomes a factor leading to the destruction of others, when it no longer
recognizes and respects its essential link with the truth. When freedom, out of a desire to emancipate itself from all
forms of tradition and authority, shuts out even the most obvious evidence of an objective and universal truth, which is
the foundation of personal and social life, then the person ends up by no longer taking as the sole and indisputable
point of reference for his own choices the truth about good and evil, but only his subjective and changeable opinion
or, indeed, his selfish interest and whim.”
Relativism, called the “dictatorship of relativism” by then newly elected Pope Benedict XVI, is undeniably anti-
thetical and incompatible with Christianity, and Justice Kennedy, who calls himself Catholic, should very well know
that. But then again, this isn’t real, is it?
