Should a book not be adapted to the screen if society has progressed too far for some of its message?

What I mean by that is I'm a screenwriter and there's two books I'd really love to adapt into either movies or limited-series (as it seems like a book can become either these days) if I could get the rights.

The first one is one of my favorite novels as a kid, The Kid Who Ran For President by Dan Gutman. I know there's other things I'd have to update too from the book's 2000s setting but between the changing political/media climate (which would influence the political landscape the kid enters) and us having just had a black woman accept her party's nomination for president (when in the book it's considered noteworthy that the titular kid candidate chose an older black woman as his running mate) I don't know how much a potential screen adaptation of this book would have to alter (not to mention there's the matter of how in the book which as I said was set in 2000 the aforementioned older black woman is stated to be old enough to have voted for FDR and he was the first and last person she ever voted for for president because she didn't think any other candidates met her standards, change her age and you have to find someone who could be considered as good as FDR from when she would have been 18, keep the FDR bit and her age becomes more implausible as the years go by not to mention the Unfortunate Implications that Obama, Biden and even Harris weren't worth voting for)

The second one is one of my current favorite adult-friendly-but-in-the-SFW-way novels, The Third Secret by Steve Berry. I thought it'd be worth adapting because for those who don't know it's basically half Da-Vinci-Code-esque thriller half papal-equivalent-of-The-West-Wing. As I'm not Catholic I don't keep up that much with developments on that front but some of the things I've heard about some of the reforms in church beliefs/policy etc. Pope Francis might have made might be progressive enough that it'd render some but not all of the secret would-seem-heretical-but-actually-not ideas the heroes end up uncovering based on someone's revelation from the Virgin Mary (the titular third secret) seemingly quaint if not redundant in comparison. I know the book's fictional popes and cardinals implies it's set in a different timeline but people would be viewing the movie or TV adaptation I'd want to make if I could from our timeline and I don't want them thinking the mystery-box-solution-revelations were either not enough (if I take away the ones society's progressed beyond) or "lol what a surprise"

I'm not asking whether or not I'd be able to get the rights to adapt these books I'm asking whether those would be worth pursuing/if there's a way I could find a way to modernize an older black female VP candidate who in the original book was old enough to vote for FDR and was partially convinced into being a running mate by the fact that no one like her ever did that before for the post-Harris world enough to adapt The Kid Who Ran For President and a way I could make sure enough to adapt The Third Secret that its revelations/church reforms are actually progressive-for-our-time
