Sažetak
Article presents empirical data about attitudes of towards sexuality and marriage in Croatia based on the research "Social and religious change in Croatia" carried out by the Institute for Social Research in Zagreb in 2004 on the representative sample of adult population (N=2220). Respondents reported about their attitudes concerning usage of contraceptives, sexual relationships before marriage, divorce, cohabitation, having children outside wedlock, homosexual marrages atc. The results show that the dominantly Catholic population in Croatia deviate from the attitudes of the Catholic Church when marriage and sexuality are concerned. However, despite this discrepancy, religiosity, particularly intense one, and more frequent church attendance are predictors of bigger adherence to the traditional moral norms.
