1. Marriage. The indissoluble covenant between one man and one woman for life.
2. Children. A culture that fosters the spiritual, moral, cultural and intellectual development of children and protects their innocence.
3. Sanctity of Life. Reverence and respect for all human life from conception to natural death.
4. Extended Family and Community. God's built-in social "safety net".
5. The Catholic Faith. Only Catholic Christianity consistently opposes divorce, abortion, contraception, materialism, consumerism, and all the enemies of the family in its teaching.
Since the Op didn't say American,I'm assuming it that what he or she means?
I would say traditional American is more along closer to Puritan family values,which are different from Catholic family values.

No. I left any distinct country out for a reason. This isn't limited to just American values - if you're not American and have something you'd like to input, by all means do so.

This, I thought someone did a poll asking what religions people were on C-D and Catholic was first or almost first.
3) Acceptance (for the differences that each family member might have, barring illegal differences of course)
4) Friendship (I believe families should be held together by more than a feeling on obligation. My family also consists of some of my closest and dearest friends)
1. Mom stays in the kitchen where womenfolk belong; gets smacked around and ridiculed if she tries to speak up and "get smart."
2. Dad spews sexist, racist, xenophobic, religious dogma over dinner; kids are expected to ingest doctrine without question.
3. Kids grow up to become boors like dad or submissive pushovers like mom, suspicious of anything resembling change from the narrow sliver of life they have bee indoctrinated to treat as "normal". They inflict the same tripe on their kids.
Fast forward a few hundred years until someone in the family lineage has the brains and the balls to put this bull**** to an end.
