Roman Catholicism in the Netherlands
The Roman Catholic Church in the Netherlands ((オランダ語:rooms-katholiek kerkgenootschap in Nederland (RKK))), is part of the worldwide Catholic Church, under the spiritual leadership of the Pope, Dutch Conference of Bishops, and curia in Rome. The Metropolitan Archbishop of Utrecht, currently Willem Jacobus Eijk, is Primate (bishop) of the Netherlands.
Although the number of Catholics in the Netherlands has decreased significantly in recent decades, the Dutch Catholic Church is today the largest religious group in the Netherlands. Once known as a Protestant country, in 2007 the Netherlands was only 16.8 percent Dutch Protestant (down from 60 percent in the early 20th century; defections primarily due to rising unaffiliation). There are an estimated 3.992 million Catholics (31 December 2013) in the Netherlands, 23.7 percent of the population〔(KASKI-Report 636 ) ), retrieved 9 Jan 2015〕 down from more than 40 percent in 1970's. The Roman Catholic Church in the Netherlands has suffered a membership loss of 540.500 members between 2003 (4,532,000 pers. / 27.9% overall population) and 2013 (3,992,000 pers. / 23,7% overall population),〔http://www.ru.nl/kaski/onderzoek/cijfers-rooms/〕 The number of Catholics in the Netherlands continues to decrease, roughly by half a percent annually, as do the number of Protestants. Muslims, however, continue to increase and are currently 6% of the population.
Sunday church attendance by Catholics has decreased in recent decades to less than 200,000 or 1.2 percent of the Dutch population in 2006 (source (KASKI – the official Dutch Roman Catholic statistics source )). More recent numbers for Sunday church attendance have not been published (with the exception of the diocese of Roermond), although press releases have mentioned a further decline since 2006.
A planned visit of Pope Francis to the Netherlands was blocked by cardinal Wim Eijk in 2014, allegedly because of the feared lack of interest for the Pope among the Dutch public.〔http://www.trouw.nl/tr/nl/4492/Nederland/article/detail/3587802/2014/02/01/Kardinaal-Eijk-blokkeert-bezoek-paus-Franciscus.dhtml〕
