This is great evidence that the Church and her teachings are correct. Every time we try to go our own way as a society it will mess us up. God is the creator and gave us the Instruction Manual for how humans are to live. When we stray from his laws it destroys us and our society. This is great material for evangelism and to instruct poor souls in the way of righteousness.
