This story from Expatica about Spain caught my eye. For centuries, Spain may have been the most Catholic country on the planet.
For the first time ever, a majority of young Spaniards said they did not consider themselves Catholics, according to a new survey.
The survey, by the Fundacion Santa Maria, said many felt a mounting distrust of the Roman Catholic Church and growing disbelief in God, the Spanish daily El Pais reported.
The authors of the survey said its results indicate that within a generation Spain will no longer be a Catholic country, as the present generation's children will not be brought up as believers.
It gets worse for the Church:
The survey found the Catholic Church is the least trusted of any institution, including multi-national companies and NATO.
