Moral authority
Moral authority is authority premised on principles, or fundamental truths, which are independent of written, or positive, laws. As such, moral authority necessitates the existence of and adherence to truth. Because truth does not change, the principles of moral authority are immutable or unchangeable, although as applied to individual circumstances the dictates of moral authority for action may vary due to the exigencies of human life. These principles, which can be of metaphysical and/or religious nature, are considered normative for behavior, whether they are or are not also embodied in written laws,〔(Legal Definitions: Moral Authority )〕 and even if the community is ignoring or violating them.〔(Richard Norris, Timothy F. Sedgwick, ''The Business of All Believers: Reflections on Leadership'' (Church Publishing, Inc. 2009 ISBN 978-1-59627119-7), p. 86 )〕 Therefore, the authoritativeness or force of moral authority is applied to the conscience of each individual, who is free to act according to or against its dictates.
Moral authority has thus also been defined as the "fundamental assumptions that guide our perceptions of the world".〔(James Davison Hunter, ''Culture Wars'' (Basic Books 1992 ISBN 978-0-46501534-4), p. 119 )〕
==Characteristics==

An individual or a body of people who are seen as communicators of such principles but which does not have the physical power to enforce them on the unwilling are spoken of as having moral authority. An example is the Catholic Church.〔(Full text of Veritas Splendor ), English Translation. John Paul II. August 6, 1993〕
In this sense, moral authority has been defined as "the capacity to convince others how the world should be", as opposed to epistemic authority, "the capacity to convince others of how the world is".〔(Jay A. Labinger, "Individual or Institutional Authority in Science?" )〕
