Netherlands: Only 6% of “Catholics” Attend Sunday Mass

51% of the Dutch over 15 years do not belong to any religion according to new statistics published by the Central Statistics Bureau, Agensir.it reports (October 22).

24% of the Dutch are Catholic. Of those claiming to be "Catholic" only 6% effectively practice their Faith, this is 1.44% of the total Dutch population. 5% of the Dutch are Moslems. 78% of the Dutch have never or hardly ever attended a religious service at all.

Before Second Vatican Council more than 40% of the Dutch population were practicing Catholics. This abruptly changed after the Second Vatican Council and the liturgical changes which were introduced in the Netherlands with peculiar fanaticism.
