為與神建立關係 許多拉美天主教徒轉為基督教徒

為與神建立關係 許多拉美天主教徒轉為基督教徒

2013?3?17

皮尤的一份新調查發現,拉美天主教徒越來越多地離開天主教加入福音派新教教會或乾脆放棄信仰。參與本次調查的人員列舉他們轉教的最多原因是尋求與神建立個人性的關係。

在周四公布的調查報告表明,儘管該地區69%的成年人是天主教徒,但幾乎每個接受調查的國家都出現了出生在天主教家庭或長大後成為天主教徒的人群的流失現象。拉美作為一個整體,總體來說,84%的人口一出生就是天主教徒,但現在只有69%的人確定自己屬於天主教會。相比之下,拉丁美洲只有9%的人成長在基督教家庭,但如今有19%人口為新教徒。無宗教信仰的人數也在不斷上升,出生在無宗教家庭人數從4%上升到現在的8%。

拉美人離開天主教會的原因,有81%的被調查者表示自己在尋求與神建立個人關係。69%表示自己很欣賞新教會的崇拜風格,而60%表示他們希望更注重道德方面。

皮尤調查指出,「拉美人離開天主教轉向新教趨勢明顯。確實,被調查的大多數國家現有的新教徒中至少有三分之一出生在天主教徒家庭,過半人表示自己已受洗成為天主教徒。」

皮尤研究中心還強調,雖然教宗從2013年3月任命以來不僅在他的家鄉阿根廷也在烏拉圭備受關注,多數前天主教徒對教宗的看法都很正面;但在其他拉美國家中,只有一半左右的前天主教徒對教宗的看法比較積極。

烏拉圭也被確定是拉丁美洲擁有無宗教派別青年人比例最高的國家,接近人口的37%。這個比例在該地區不同地方有很大的差別,玻利維亞、秘魯和巴拉圭的非宗教人士比例小於5%。

據報道,美國拉美裔年輕人也在離開教堂加入新教教派。波士頓學院今年上半年公布的一項研究顯示,服侍西班牙裔社區的牧師中有59%都是55歲以上,形成了代溝。

波士頓學院(Boston College)神學和事工學院助理教授和此次報告的主要作者奧斯福漫·奧斯皮諾(Hosffman Ospino)當時告訴基督郵報說,「天主教會很少向西班牙裔青年傳福音,這給我們教會敲了一個響鐘,因為美國天主教青年中55%都是西班牙裔美國人。如果教會不向這一代傳福音,就可能失去他們。」
