In the 1920s, an atheist, English ethnologist and social Anthropologist from Oxford University and Cambridge University decided to look at monogamy and civilization. He studied eighty primitive tribes and six known civilizations over 5000 years of human history. His results are published in his book Sex and Culture from 1934.
He found that monogamous cultures could build and grow and create space for people to flourish through art, music, architecture, and economics. When a society abandoned monogamy, particularly premarital chastity, it collapsed within three generations, with a generation defined as approximately 33 years.
He wrote that a society is free to choose to display growth in the above mentioned areas or enjoy sexual freedom. The evidence is that is cannot do both for more than one generation, and if that trend goes past one generation, the collapse is inevitable. He saw that as societies became prosperous and adopted liberal sexual mores, they lost cohesion and a sense of purpose. J.D. Unwin was an atheist. He sees societal trends, can you?

The “free love” movement began in the 1960s. If we take the “Summer of Love” as a starting point, that means the first generation was from 1967-2000. We are in the second generation which will go to 2033, and the United States will have collapsed by 2066.
The trend has held for the last 5000 years of time. Only a miracle can stop it. I am embarrassed and horrified that I bought into the liberal sexual revolution, I cohabitated and had premarital intercourse with my wife and two previous wives. I am not preaching holier than thou. This is serious.
It is only by a miracle of God’s grace that I have repented and maintained complete chastity for over 4 years. The trend does not look good for our nation
We need the intercession of Our Lady. We need to repent in dust and ashes. If you are not married and unchaste then you need to repent now. That means no masturbation, no porn, no extramarital intercourse, no fetishes. If you cannot do it, then I recommend confession frequently and reception of the Eucharist until you can gain spiritual strength. If you are not following church teaching in any area, stop it and repent.
God will shed His grace on you. I know He will, because He did it for me
A Friday penance that I would recommend for Catholic married couples is to refrain from sexual intercourse on Fridays
If you are unmarried and struggle with sexual sin, go to confession every Thursday and ask for grace to sexually fast every Friday, as you take the Eucharist at Mass. When you have achieved chastity, God will give you a new Friday penance to honor Him
If you are single and celibate then fast every Friday so that Mary can intercede and call all souls to chastity
Stop worrying about the little things in the Church. We get the leaders we deserve. We have bad leaders because we are sheep that have gone astray. The Novus Ordo confects the Eucharist and the liberal Bishops still administer the sacraments ex Opere Operato. Repent and pray for God’s blessing
Or do nothing and watch society burn by 2066. If Our Lady intervenes for the Lord’s Church, you may be left out unless you repent
Pray the Rosary everyday go to the Sacraments
Listen to holy music. My current favorite album is Woodstock Jesuit Singers Vol 1 from 1964. I like it because it’s ironically named and has some of the greatest Catholic Hymns ever sung IMO
I especially like Let all Mortal Flesh keep Silent
