Sounds like a well done work. Pretty close to what I have gleaned in my reading.

The Roman (pagan) system is where the modern Progressives want us to go.

But Christian ethics meant a profoundly improved lot in life for women, children, the enslaved, and the poor.

Exactly. The Christian ethic recognized that unconstrained sexual expression quickly becomes exploitative and brutalizing for those lacking wealth, status or power. This is a constantly recurring theme, apparent to anyone who looks closely: rich, powerful and promiscuous people, who are usually able to buy their own way out of trouble, leave a lot of human wreckage in their wake. Modern sexual liberals believe essentially that the abortion license and the welfare state sufficiently mitigate these problems, so that promiscuity can be made safe. A national illegitimacy rate of over 40 percent ... over 50 percent for Hispanics and over 70 percent for blacks … with illegitimacy driving EVERY social problem … well, that's acceptable collateral damage; all that counts is that it's easy to get laid.

You can’t win the larger culture by losing your own.

A message to too many of the Christian denominations of today.
