Rome fell for a number of reasons, [homosexuality] being one of them. I wouldn't say it's the cause of the fall, but it's definitely a correlation. Probably, you can read in Horace that women were getting promiscuous, and that's usually the first sign toward social failure, which Rome's was a long winding spiral downhill for about three hundred years, ever since Augustus. Like, under Tiberius they literally crucified God, and put a Pear Tree on Trial. And in the time of Horace, we see the women are beginning to be predatory, and are starting to not have fidelity, which that stirs up a lot of problems in a culture. Probably that's the root cause of why societies fall, is men lose faith in women and the fidelity of marriage as a binding social contract, and begin to be androgynous as a result. And that leads to weak ethics, and men who can't bear the weight of society, so another society comes and conquers them.
Mark 13:51Jesus saith unto them, Have ye understood all these things? They say unto him, Yea, Lord. 52Then said he unto them, Therefore every scribe which is instructed unto the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is an householder, which bringeth forth out of his treasure things new and old.
