By Fr Robert McTeigue, SJ, Aleteia - Knowing moral truth, then judging and acting accordingly, is the work of conscience.

By Montague Brown, Catholic Education Resource Center - Relativism is the assumption that there is no right or wrong. No action is considered better or worse than any other. If this is so, all actions are equally acceptable. Relativism is profoundly anti-community. If there are no standards of morality to which we should adhere, tolerance is no better than intolerance.
