American values are eroding quickly.

A Gallup poll confirms what many of us have suspected, American culture is shifting for the worse. Values are eroding and what is considered "okay" is becoming increasingly libertine and amoral.

LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - The results of the annual "Values and Beliefs Survey" from the Gallup organization are in and the comparisons to 2001 show a fundamental shift between what is acceptable and what is not to most Americans.

The following list of statistics tells a story. It is a tragic story of the erosion of traditional family-based values. It is a story with a bleak ending that is yet to come. Our nation will need a lot of prayers and action to reverse this trend. The cancer has spread though the fabric of our nation.

Pray for our nation!
