Disbelief in Catholicism

Spain is a Christian country. Roman Catholicism is the official religion dating back to the ruling period of Ferdinand V and Isabella I. This country spread Christianity throughout the world through colonization and subjugation.

But, this Christian country will be non-Catholic in twenty years. According to the survey of the Santa Maria Foundation, it was the first time in Spain's history that majority of the younger Spaniard population said that they didn't like Catholicism. This younger generation no longer believes in Roman Catholic Church. The survey also found out that forty-nine percent of these Spaniards were no longer practicing Catholic faith. The survey also found out that almost of the younger generations were atheists, agnostic, and with different religion. The reasons for disbelief according to the survey were: the church's stand on the homosexual marriage, sexual practices, and abortion.

This happening is a direct challenge to Catholic Church. It is a must that the Church initiates changes that can be adopted in the modern age and at the same time, not leaving the core values that Christianity had taught. The result is yet to be seen in the coming years.
