The new so called morality has too often the old immorality condoned.

Summary

This quote suggests that what is often referred to as a new sense of morality actually tends to endorse or accept the same immoral actions that were condemned in the past. Despite claiming to uphold higher moral standards, these new moral perspectives often fail to genuinely challenge or address immoral behavior. It implies that society's shifting moral values may not necessarily represent true progress or an improvement in ethical standards, as they might simply justify and perpetuate previous immoral practices.
