Abstract

When we take into account the number of parishes, convents and monasteries, retreat houses, etc., that are part of the Roman Catholic Church in Slovenia, we see that there is considerable activity in the area of spirituality. We can ask ourselves the following question: how do Slovene Catholics understand spirituality? In this article, the author tries to answer these questions by first defining spirituality, after which he presents the analysis of questions answered by Slovene Catholics in the online survey “Sacrifice in Christian Spirituality”. Furthermore, he explains to what extent secular spirituality can be traced in the understanding of spirituality among Slovene Catholics, and in what ways Pope Francis’ teachings on Catholic spirituality can encourage them to truly understand and actualise it more deeply.
