Fr. Schall cites a common characteristic for most of us to be able to know what is naturally right.

I am thinking though of modern psychiatry's identificaiton of sociopathic or malignant narcissistic personality. The authors M.Scott Peck and Martha Stout have written about them. According to Stout, something like 1 to 3 percent of the population can only feign empathy and do not respond to right and wrong.

The presence among us of people who have no conscience is frankly terrifying. I wonder if it means that they are, in a religious sense, utterly lost.
