22. According to the survey data in 1994 (Studies in Public Policy 222, 1994: R. Rose and W. Maley Nationalities in the Baltic States: A Survey Study and Studies in Public Policy 284) 75% of Lithuanians declared themselves "Catholic" (there are 79.6% of Lithuanians in the country) while only 10% stated that they attend the Church nearly every week as the Catholic dogma requires. The difference may be interpreted as showing incongruity between identification on the narrative level and practice.
