gosh, i wish..
:
moral law is the truth inside all beings everywhere. it is the "law" that is encouraging us all to fill our fullest potential together as a universe.
:
the "categorical imperative", as you put it, contains only statistical averages of the behavior patterns of the earth's human inhabitants. as Kant put it: "act only in such a way that you would want all men to act." and so we do; but for whatever reason, some of us want all men to act ouside of moral law. if we were all acting 100% of the time inside the influence(s) of "moral law" there would be no suffering anywhere; no greed; no hate; only love, bliss and joy.
but, unfortunately, this is not what today's "categorical imperative" reports.
what about tomorrow's? well, it is up to you and me to steer the averages of the world towards the authentic moral law that beats in everyone of our hearts.
let's get to work!

As far as I remember from my philosophy class, yes.
There are certain moral laws, that are objective, that are true no matter who we are talking about.
That is what Kant called the categorical imperitive.
The true command, so to speak.
