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.

There are eight dioceses, including one archdiocese. There are over seven million Catholics in Belgium, about three quarters of the total population. However, as elsewhere in Europe, securalisation has hit hard in Belgium; Sunday church attendance has dropped well below 10% as per latest reseach 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
