  • 摘要:The most general conclusion of this analysis indicates a correlation of experiencing various religious sensations with the religious affiliation of the respondents in the broadest sense, what was also evidenced in all the researches mentioned in this text. Most of the respondents did not connect the most widely spread religious experiences related to the context of a predominant traditional church religiosity with the experience of supranatural forces. Obviously, this notion did not evoke in them any Christian, respectively Catholic context in which prevail religious experiences of God of a lower intensity especially in relation to the experiences that belong more often to some other Christian traditions, to those that don't necessary belong to the Christian tradition or to the ones from the field of various alternative spiritualities. Most of the experiences are emphatically connected to the folk religiosity, to the pilgrimage to Medjugorje, in particular. The more the respondents are religious and attend the church mess more frequently, the more often they have religious experiences, being they of a lower or higher intensity but not, of course, the experiences from the domain of alternative spiritualities. When related to the socio-dernographic indicators, the figures also fit into the existing results of the researches of some other dimensions of religiosity. So, more widely spread religious sensations of a lesser intensity are experienced by the respondents with a lower degree of education, women or from underdeveloped regions of Croatia. The presence of some supranatural force that did not have any connection with the notion of God as it is perceived in the Catholic tradition, as well as some sensations from the field of the occult are more experienced by more educated respondents, those from the cities, practically equally men and women, evenly spread across the all Croatian regions. Besides the awareness of many problems related to the research of the religious experience in connection to its conceptualization, operationalization, measurement and defining, this paper also deals with an awareness of a delicacy of the interpretation of the religious experience, especially when it is examined only by using the quantitative methodology.
