From Wisdom (Catholic Apocrypha) which I was reading today, chapter 14:

Then it was not enough for them to err in their knowledge of God;
but even though they live in a great war resulting from ignorance,
they call such evils peace.
23 For while they practice either child sacrifices or occult mysteries,
or frenzied carousing in exotic rites,
24 They no longer respect either lives or purity of marriage;
but they either waylay and kill each other, or aggrieve each other by adultery.
25 And all is confusion—blood and murder, theft and guile,
corruption, faithlessness, turmoil, perjury,
26 Disturbance of good people, neglect of gratitude,
besmirching of souls, unnatural lust,
disorder in marriage, adultery and shamelessness.
27 For the worship of infamous idols
is the reason and source and extreme of all evil.

Kinda sounds like what the secular West has descended into, doesn’t it?

Pray for Mercy.

This really hit me. Mankind hasn’t changed much.
Lord have mercy.

Yes and sadly humans haven’t changed much. God through Christ showed us the way to live in a world with such evil among us.
