ENThis article explores individual religiosity in Lithuania, building on the insights of a few sociologists of religion and analyzing the empirical data. The authors analyze qualitative data - 70 interviews (completed in 2011) with three different types of informants, drawing from groups of catholic church-goers (provisionally called "traditional Catholics"), informants provisionally credited with "individual religiosity" and informants from new religious movements. The article analyses each group building on insights of Grace Davie (2007), Tomas Inglis (2007) and Daniele Hervieu-Lėger (1998), M. Wood and C. Hmm (2009). The authors of the article argue that of these three groups the group of "traditional Catholics" is the least homogenious, and propose there are two distinct types of religiosity in the group identifying themselves as Catholics. One, which attempts to follow the teachings of the Church, could be called orthodox Catholics, while the other type could be referred to as reflexive Catholics. which is similar (though not the same) as the cultural Catholic type discerned by Inglis (2007). The authors propose that these two types, together witli the individual religiosity type, form a spectrum of what "being catholic" can mean in Lithuania. At one end there are Catholics with a clear religious identity, at the center - Catholics who. while reflecting teachings of the Church, adhere to those with reservations, while at the other end of the spectrum there are individuals whose identification with Catholicism Is not tied to religious belief or Church teaching, and whose Catholicism Is rather a symbol of ethnic identification.
