Big differences between Catholic countries SLOVAK pattern of religiosity is more convergent with HUNGARIAN and AUSTRIAN pattern of religiosity than POLISH one. 2. The most divergent are POLISH and CZECH patterns of religiosity. 3. SLOVAKIA is the only country whith increasing religiosity (in all 3B dimensions) 4. National pattern of religiosity is stable (no religious revolution: neither strong evidence for secularization, nor desecularization) 5. Postcommunist modernization is country dependent, it is MODERNISATION of TRADITION.
