The Church's current foe, as he sees it, is still in the heart of Europe and still atheist in nature: a sort of post-Socialist, anything-goes brand of Utopia that Benedict calls "relativism" - and disparages as the root of everything from loose sexual mores to a breakdown of the traditional family to runaway capitalism...

And big-box European chains like Carrefour are frustrated over the slow pace of reform in India's retail sector, where complete foreign ownership of multi-brand retail outlets is still not allowed.
