The Catholic church is all about outer appearances, there is little if ever anything said about the inner heart. When appearances are enough, then there is nothing stopping all kinds of evil as long as it is hidden.
Many people in our culture are not born again, they don't think in terms of God seeing all they do. If they can hide their evil from those who might disapprove, they are comfortable with their sin.
Recently however, sin is being celebrated openly, the more sin that is accepted the more it grows. Accepting of one sin in a culture is like fertilizer to the plant in which dwells all the other sins.
Our country legalized divorce and remarriage, then the restraints on pornography were lifted, prostitution became legal in some areas, gambling was legalized, abortion, same sex marriage and now we see the forced mandates that perverted men can use women's bathrooms. The floodgates to widespread sin of every form have been opened, there is no stopping anything anymore.
Galatians 5:9 "A little leaven leavens the whole lump of dough."
1 Corinthians 5:6 " 6 Your boasting is not good. Do you not know that a little leaven leavens the whole lump of dough? 7 Clean out the old leaven so that you may be a new lump,"
God wrote the verses above to the church, imagine how much worse the unregenerate world is without any standards or principles to follow except those they dream up in their own minds.
Romans 8:5 "5 For those who are according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who are according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit. 6 For the mind set on the flesh is death, but the mind set on the Spirit is life and peace,…"
Galatians 5:17
"For the flesh desires what is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit what is contrary to the flesh. They are in conflict with each other, so that you are not to do whatever you want."
Galatians 5:19
"The acts of the flesh are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery;"
Philippians 3:19
"Their destiny is destruction, their god is their stomach, and their glory is in their shame. Their mind is set on earthly things."
