Understand here that I'm not criticizing the viewpoint itself, just it's characterization as objective.

One could argue that the scientist's viewpoint is subjective as well - because it is.

The Pope's perspective is not subjective because God has ordered reality according to His law and anything which contravenes that law is disordered.

That law is objective reality.

Absolutely. That is the point I was making.

I'm not sure about that last part. Don't religious scholars disagree on what God's law is?
