Roman Catholicism in Belgium

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Roman Catholic Church in Belgium is part of the worldwide Roman Catholic Church, under the spiritual leadership of the Pope and curia in Rome.

However, as elsewhere in Europe, securalisation has hit hard in Belgium; Sunday church attendance has raised well above 10% as per latest research such as from the "Centrum voor politicologie" of the Catholic University Leuven , author: Marc Hooghe, title: "kerkpraktijk in Vlaanderen"( [http://soc.kuleuven.be/pol/docs/0606-EP-Hooghe.pdf
