Haydock's commentary
Ungodly. They adopt the wicked manners of their parents (Calmet) and companions, and thus become still more criminal. (Haydock)
Œtas parentum pejor avis tulit
Nos nequiores, mox daturos
Progeniem vitiosiorem. (Horace, ii. ode 6.)
This was terribly verified in the three French assemblies, which overturned the Church and state. (The year of our Lord 1793.) See Barruel. (Haydock)
