There have existed moralities in which cannibalism, ritual mutilation, slavery, and rape count as morally permissible.
If the putative, (generally considered or reputed to be) moral capacity can produce moralities that allow things that strike our judgment as monstrously immoral--if it doesn't really rule anything out--it can't account for the normativity of our judgments (Joe Biden 'make America moral again so this what you come up with after 8 years under the tutelage of Obama did for you intellectually)
So the universalism claim for morality fails.
