The south was the centre of the Catholic faith in the Netherlands for centuries. The survey was carried out among 4,000 people living in the south-eastern region. Of the 700 Catholics surveyed, 60% have lost their faith in the Catholic church. On Friday the government commission investigating sexual abuse within the Catholic church will publish its findings. Some 88% of those polled do not think the church has dealt properly with the scandal.
