Abstract
The text analyze basic data distribution obtained by the research
of the survey carried out with the sample of 498 belivers in the region
of seven Franciscan provinces in Croatia and Bosnia and
Herzegovina. Since this has been one of the first socio-religious
investigation carried out after the Patriotic war in certain regions in
Croatia and Bosnia and Herzegovina, its aim was to investigate as
many segments of religious life as possible, which resulted in an
extensive questionnaire. The article analyze the basic socio-psychological characteristics of the sample, the respondents' value
orientations, as well as the belivers' prayer life, sacramental life and
attachment for Church. It also analyze the relationship of believers to
the brothers and sisters Franciscans, the attitude toward religious
truths and supernatural events, as well as the attitudes toward the
fundamental Christian moral norms. In view of the fact that the
investigated population of believers is pastured by the Franciscan
brothers and sisters, we were interested in the relationship of
believers to the living of Franciscan charisma among the members of
the other, which means supporting peace (peacemmaking), care for
the poor (social justice) and care for ali created (ecology). The last
chapter presents the beliver' attitudes and opinions about the occult
phenomena, i.e. about superstition.
