Depends on whose morality we're talking about:
For the rich man and myself, morality is very adaptable.
For a poor man, my husband, my friends and my neighbors, there is only one yardstick for morality

Morality is what Man considers appropriate at that given moment in time. Is it consistent? No, because neither are the attitudes Man possess when making decisions. Is it objective? No, because "black-and-white" morality offers no room for human consideration, and we know Man likes to be self-righteous* and determine the laws to which he adheres.

I'm rather taken by the simple but absolutist morality of clergyman Brand in Ibsen's successful play of the same name: God is love.
"Love does not alter the beloved, it alters itself"

The thought I had just now: morality that depends on something that can change cannot be objective.
Glory to God in the highest.
