At least 86% of the people living in Brabant have little or no faith in the Catholic church, according to a survey by local broadcaster Omroep Brabant.

The south was the centre of the Catholic faith in the Netherlands for centuries.

The survey was carried out among 4,000 people living in the south-eastern region. Of the 700 Catholics surveyed, 60% have lost their faith in the Catholic church.

On Friday the government commission investigating sexual abuse within the Catholic church will publish its findings. Some 88% of those polled do not think the church has dealt properly with the scandal.
