The downward progression

What was scandalous to one generation becomes "not that bad" to the next simply because it is not as bad as what is going on currently. The downward progression is as old as mankind. One help that we have today, due to the printing press, is that we can document the decline over the generations and see that men 100 years ago were lamenting it just as we are today, but the things they were lamenting have become widely accepted - even among church folks. This ought to alarm us and cause us to reform, but that never seems to happen - and so the decline continues. A knowledge of history has many advantages, but they are seldom used.
