relativism/absolutism and teology/deontology look at different aspects of ethics. Absolutism says there is one right path and to a large extent deontology says the same: behaviour is guided by an absolute set of duties. Teleology looks at outcomes, not rules and it seems to me that that can be both relative and absolute. However, I'm not a philosopher and you don't need many philosophers in a room before there is an argument. One usually suffices.
