Sažetak
From the empirical research conducted in 2001 among
members of new Catholic lay movements 5 questions were
extracted regarding their moral-ethical attitudes. With the
assistance of several methods the authors tried to determine
whether and how much their attitudes on premarital sexual relations, contraception, abortion, marital infidelity and non-
-dissolution of marriage differ from official ecclesiastical
attitudes on these issues and whether there are significant
differences in the answers of examinees with regard to two
demographic characteristics – sexual affiliation and origin.
The research indicated great agreement with the attitudes of
the Catholic Church, especially in questions concerning the
non-dissolution of marriage and intentional termination of
pregnancy. A somewhat smaller percentage of examinees
was in accord with the moral-theological determinants of the
Catholic Church with regard to marital infidelity, while the
highest degree of permissiveness appeared in attitudes on
premarital sexual relations and the justification of use of
contraception. However, even in these last two questions the
percentage of ecclesiastically coordinated answers is over
70%. From the aspect of two demographic characteristics
significant differences have not been found in either of the
cases, except in the case of non-dissolution of marriage
overlapping with sexual affiliation of examinees, where
women are reported to have readily justified divorce in
exceptional cases in a higher percentage.
