Card. Ratzinger / Pope Benedict wrote of moral relativism as the central problem for the Church today. I wonder how many among us in this forum are moral relativists.

Do you believe that moral truth is absolute and unchanging, or is moral truth in fact determined by the personal subject?

If you believe that moral truth is absolute and unchanging, do you accept the magisterium of the Church as the authorized spokesman of that truth, to the extent that such truth has been revealed to mankind?

If you believe that moral truth is absolute and unchanging, but do not recognize the authority of the magisterium in such matters, whom (if anyone) do you recognize as authoritative?

If you believe that moral truth is in fact determined by the personal subject, do you believe in a (universal human) "natural moral law"? If you do, what do you see as its source or origin?

Thanks in advance, for your thoughts.

Thomas
