This partly explains the great apostasy. Not just in the church, but all mankind rejecting what is true, what is truth. People are even losing the ability to find and know what is true.

Ohio,
What exactly was rejected? Paul addresses this:
Romans 1:20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:
The truth is clearly seen and understood. Today we see everywhere the consequences of rejecting what is clearly seen and understood. Judgment comes with a strong delusion..
