Republic = Res Publica, the affairs of the public, i.e. the LAW.
Without the law, there is lawlessness and the lawless one. Without the law & respect for the law, there is no Republic.
That is why, widespread disrespect and ignoring of the Divine Law (i.e. keep holy the sabbath, do not steal, do not kill, abortion, pornography, sodomy) will inevitably result in widespread disrespect and ignoring of Civil Law.
