I believe in situational ethics. In any situation or moral question, there is a course of action (or multiple courses of action) that are objectively better than others if human wellbeing is the foundation of one's morality. There is no code in stone from a lawgiver that tells us flatly which is which, we evolve and refine our moral understanding over time in order to maximize human wellbeing to the best of our abilities.
In every country and every age, the priest had been hostile to Liberty.
