Sažetak
Upon the basis of indicators of four types of knowledge: the knowledge gained through confessional socialisation (catechism and intensified education before receiving the sacraments), knowledge acquired by reading the Bible, knowledge acquired by reading confessional editions and following events within the church in other ways, knowledge in the field of culture in general, we came to the following results: the people inquired have very poor knowledge about the Bible and they are completely uninformed about the events in Roman catholic Church. They show somewhat better knowledge about the facts emphesized in the course of religious socialization and about elementary facts of culture in general. We crossed mentioned indicators with socio-demographical characteristics of the population: sex, age, residential status, education, occupation, confessional identification, and with attending of catechism. Variables: residential status, occupation, confessional identification and attending of cathecism play the most important role in producing statistically significant differences regarding to level of the four types of knowledge.
