The problem with morality

The problem is not morality, and it is not talking about the right and the wrong of things.

The problem is what we attach to what we call right--our own sense of superiority and desire to have coercive power over others. The problem is what we attach to what we call wrong--hatred and a desire for vengeance.

We need to purify our moral faculty of all self-righteousness and vengeance, and then we can speak about right and wrong with complete freedom.

How do we purify our moral faculty? By striving to be fair and loving and forgiving and humble, and praying to God to purify us.

Our humility must be the humility of knowing our own moral failures, and it must also be the humility of knowing how imperfect and undeveloped our knowledge of the good is, and it must be the humility of being willing to say what needs to be said even though we are unsure.
