The Faith In Austria:

          Among the 8 million population of Austria, what stand out as a predominant faith group is Catholicism. However due to the recent development of the world nowadays plus the other influences of the modern era, there is but a little percentage among these Catholics that religiously practice their faith.

          Signs of this diminishing pious faithful is the less number of people who attend the celebration of the Holy Eucharist. Thus it becomes obvious then that being a catholic is merely a thing in the past.
