First sentence: a morally disintegrating society, any appeal to what had once been the common morality is more easily made through a clerical or religious figure whose confidence in the moral law was bolstered by their religious faith. The nun or priest or monk represents right and wrong more dramatically than an officer of the law or ordinary private detective.
