Some troubling actions at news sources.

At a time when church is dwindling in both numbers and doctrines, and with that the reprobate proclivity to deny morals we observe the breeding ground of iniquity and transgressions increasing everywhere.
Liberalism and political correctness has damaged society by destroying traditional moral standards and virtues which used to be taken for granted.
