In the encyclical, “Veritatis Splendour” (The Splendor of Truth), states that we, the human race, i.e. mankind for all of you politically incorrect, can actually know our own nature and know objectively what is right and wrong action. We’re not talking now of subjective culpability as individuals. “Do good. Avoid evil.”
The directions for “us” and about “us” by our Manufacturer are in the Natural Law and supplemented by the Ten Commandments. What actually is the purpose of the Natural Law? The purpose lies in two aspects, one of knowing more readily and then the capability of choosing, based on that knowledge, our eternal happiness.
Through reason we can know objective Truth. On the opposite hand, relativism can turn into a dictatorship in the moral sense as well as through all of our other senses. Think of the Natural Law in terms of ‘reason’ but also in terms of the Lawgiver, our manufacturer.
