Talking about the effects of relativism on the religious vocations system. Fr. Dugandzic shares some stories about his experiences early in his discernment process, and later in his formation, and early in his life as a priest.

Relativism is the mortal enemy of Truth. It pales in comparison to Truth, because Truth is reality, and relativism is just imagination.
