Does a true morality necessitate a moral authority?

In: Ethics [Edit categories]

Answer:

No, because everyone has free will, and judgment is not our responsibility. One's morality can only dictate one's own behaviour, and perhaps guidance for those in their care, such as minors. Authority is the domain of those without morals.
