A Critical Review of Moral Relativism, Universalism, and the Teaching of the Catholic Church on Catholic Morality

Abun Dami Damianus

Résumé

Ethical relativism is the thesis that moral judgments are comparative to culture and individual preferences. It claims that there is no universal morality as pointed out by moral universalism/absolutism. Moral universalism is the meta-ethical position that ethics or morality applies universally to all similarly situated individuals, regardless of culture, race, sex, religion, nationality, sexuality, or other distinguishing features. Catholic Church teaches that moral law is universal across people in varying cultures and fact is rooted in the natural human condition or reason. All adult persons can know the truth. John Paul II insisted that no matter how separated someone is from God, in the depth of his heart, there always remains a yearning for the absolute truth and a thirst to attain full knowledge of it.
