Sažetak
The paper examines the impact of affiliation with ecclesial movements on the level of religiosity among Catholics, focusing on spirituality, ritual practice, and social religious behavior as dimensions of religiosity. Religiosity is understood as a multidimensional construct, whereas ecclesial movements are viewed as communities that provide structure, identity, and support in faith. The results indicate that Catholics who are members of ecclesial movements exhibit higher levels of religiosity across all observed dimensions compared to those who do not belong to such communities. Affiliation with ecclesial movements is thus affirmed as a significant factor in strengthening and maintaining personal religious identity in the contemporary context.
