Difficulties in the religious community form the perspective of members of the ‘Light-Life Movement’ community

Abstract

The article presents a rarely addressed issue in research on religious groups, which are the internal problems faced by Catholic communities in the course of their functioning and undertaken activities. The article presents difficulties related to hierarchy, internal organisation, religious doubts and relations between members of a particular religious community. The conclusions have been prepared based on the statements of lay people responsible for the community of the ‘Light-Life Movement’. The study used a qualitative research methodology. The research materia was obtained by means of the technique of a low-directed free interview. The conclusions of the study may provide a new perspective in looking at the religious community, and thus indicate a new, hitherto unpopular problem related to the activity of religious groups and movements, possible to be developed in future research.
