Yes, it is completely wrong to be a cannibal. In the first place, it would be murder, and after murdering the person that the cannibal wants to eat, it is secondly down right disgusting and unruly.
Of course not, cannibalism would be a serious sin, and in no way permissible. When the early European explorers first came to Mexico, they found cannibalism. They immediately tried to put an end to it, and Our Blessed Lady helped them out by appearing and converting the entire Aztec nation.
Cannibalism in The Bible is regarded as a horrible curse and inhuman act. It was (and maybe still is somewhere) ritualized in some pagan cultures as part of a religious ceremony or cultural superstition.
Its immoral to let all those humans go to waste!
To be perfectly honest, I have never heard of such a thing. I have checked in the Catechism and in Prunner's Handbook of Moral Theology, and there is nothing about cannibalism, in effigy or otherwise. As any kind of cannibalism was completely repugnant to the Jews, and thus to God; I would naturally assume that even effigial cannibalism would be completely repugnant to Christianity. The only possible thing that I could think you might be referring to is Holy Communion. If you are, then I would suggest that you read the entire sixth chapter of St. John's Gospel realizing that Holy Communion is in no way cannibalism, in effigy or otherwise.
Cultural Relativism is important because, when taking into account philosophical moral views it is vital to remember that different cultures have different views on what is moral and what is immoral. Especially if you are trying to find one absolute moral rule/law/truth. For example what is morally permissible in one culture may not be morally permissible in another. Such as cannibalism. Say that there are tribes in Africa that believe cannibalism is morally permissible - so long as it's not from your own tribe. To us that sounds horrific, cannibalism is not only immoral but also illegal (keep in mind though that just because something is illegal does not necessarily make it immoral and vice versa(sp?)). Taking into account the difference in cultures allows us to view this act with less horror and more with a critical inquiry; which is important when searching for that ever elusive absolute truth.
