You'll be lucky to find two people who agree absolutely on every point of morality.
Just saying, "There is a correct morality" is useless if you can't demonstrate such a thing exists, or provide some way to find out what it is.
Yes, bingo. All those people who make noises about moral relativism fail to grasp this. Even if there is an objective morality handed down from on high, nobody can tell us what it is. We have ten thousand different people all telling us they have the objective moral code but when we take a look, we see ten thousand different moral codes - each supposedly objective. It's far worse than moral relativism because not only is it not really objective it's adherents think it is and that gives them dangerous ideas - like everybody against the supposedly objective morality is against God and therefore evil. Lets kill them all.
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.
