LEICESTER, United Kingdom – As religious belief drops in Britain, the number of self-described Catholics attending Mass at universities is seriously declining.
A new survey released by the Pew Research Centre says 26 per cent of people raised as Christians in the United Kingdom later left their denomination – and most of those leaving Christianity altogether. Often this decision was made when the person was a teenager or a young adult.
Father Mark Wharton is the Catholic chaplain at the University of Kent, located in the Archdiocese of Southwark.
