Fair enough. I looked it up. This is what I found:
"Descriptive moral relativism holds only that some people do in fact disagree about what is moral; meta-ethical moral relativism holds that in such disagreements, nobody is objectively right or wrong; and normative moral relativism holds that because nobody is right or wrong, we ought to tolerate the behavior of others even when we disagree about the morality of it."
None of this is in line with my Catholic views.

(assuming she was not insane)According to the Bible it's not wrong for parents to kill their children. As a matter of fact it's demanded that they kill their children in certain situations. And when all else failed they could simply claim that the kid was a witch. So it's all good.
According to some isolated phrases in the OT.
If you look at the entirety of the bible, particularly the teachings of Jesus, you will see that absolutely, killing children is wrong.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
