Catholics believe in end to privileges

More than half of practicing Catholics in Spain believe that the institutional privileges enjoyed by their Church should be ended. A survey carried out by Metroscopia for EL PAÍS shows that the figure rises to 72 percent among those who rarely attend Mass, and up to 77 percent among those who never go to church. It is important to remember that while seven out of 10 Spaniards define themselves as Catholics, only 17 percent of that figure regularly attends Mass.
