Senate chaplain says U.S. risks falling like Roman Empire

U.S. Senate Chaplain Barry Black says the United States, like past great civilizations such as the Roman Empire, could collapse due to a decline in family values, a decline in religion, a preoccupation with pleasure and overspending on militarism.

Speaking at Tuesday's Montana Faith Community Impact Summit in Kalispell, Black said "the parallels are frightening."

The Senate chaplain said "God has to be the foundation" for social progress and justice.

He said, "Solutions have to have that transcendence, that ethical force" they had during the 1960s civil rights movement for racial equality.
